2. Beehive Promotion – Lou got us a batch of posters for the Bees’ upcoming visit, and a list of places he’s distributed them. We will put a few more up around town.

3. Fall Calendar – Matt has a nearly finished draft of our calendar. All we need a handful of descriptive blurbs. We can hopefully get these printed this week.
