     John Davis gave the commissions finance report and we have $1537.57 in the account.  Mike Boorsma seconded the report and the report was approved.

     The Vet Fair had 79 people attending with a lot of good compliments, but 6 vendors were no shows.  A form was passed around to try to get feedback on how to improve the fair.

     The IACVAC is having their meeting at Bloomington Springfield and we have 3 people going to these meetings.  There was some question on who was allowed to vote at these meetings and Superintendant Holderman will be checking into it.  Frank Beierlotzer made a motion to send current employees, delegate and alternate, and future employees if they wanted to go.   The motion was seconded by Jon Lehuta and the motion passed. 

     The van is going to be lettered and the commission picked out a design with unanimous approval.  The lettering will cost approximately $450.

     Mike Boorsma made the motion to pay the bills totaling $5106.80 and this was seconded by Steve Scoughton.  The motion passed. 

     Jon Lehuta made the motion to adjourn at 8:10 and this was seconded by Jerry Johnson.  We were adjourned.

Respectfully Submitted,

Steve Walz, Secretary
