OSU Liaison’s Report- Rick Hilton
We have the room reserved for our August 1st Bee School.
New Business
A MOTION was passed to send OSU Honeybee Lab $1000
There seems to be a need to develop protocol for soliciting donations from SOBA. The board members will meet to discuss a budget for this purpose and get back with our members at the next meeting.
We need a new place to store the extractors. The ideal person would be someone in a central location who can facilitate pick-ups and drop-offs, make sure that they are returned clean and working, and make sure only members borrow our equipment.
