Request from Jerry Hook for scholarship money for this year’s high school attendees to Badger Boys and Girl’s State. His request needs to be expedited due to deadlines and he would like the opportunity to make a presentation at our Holiday Party on 12/28.
Discussion followed that funding is up to the grants and Youth committees. Members endorsed sponsorship following the club’s history of helping send these students to the event.
Although this scholarship was not included in the budget, funding is possible through emergency funds.

8 accounts for committees to allow them to take care of expenses.
