The committee is to brainstorm some ideas for the next meeting. Sundays would be out for Extension staff. Dale suggested getting a chat room set up from 8-9 p.m. to meet every other month. Youth would be invited to meetings. Bobbi Jo offered to bring in speakers and pay for them. This was tabled.

2 delegates needed for the ND state Fair Board Meeting-there were no volunteers. It was felt this was not very beneficial to travel to as they do not really accept input for change.

Achievement Days Date: August 8 (static), August 9 (livestock) due to wedding.

Need to check on what date Natural Resource Camp campers get back as it might be difficult for them to participate in Achievement Days if they come back the day before. It was decided to wait and see if this would be a problem, then deal with it from there.
