This is a very short newsletter, mainly to get Patti's meeting notes from the July 21 meeting, and the Green Lake County Fair sign-up sheet, to all of you. Notice in Patti's meeting notes under new business that the ECWBA is considering not participating in future Events due to lack of participation by the membership. Part of the mission of the ECWBA is to bring what we know about bees and beekeeping to the general public, and it would be good to have several members representing the ECWBA at all times during the Event. It's a poor message to the general public when the booth has no members present (as happened at Walleye Weekend). That said, this is your opportunity to vote for the continuation of having a presence at Events by signing up for the Green Lake County Fair on Aug. 2 - 5. Sign up for one or several slots if you can. The more members in the booth at any given time, the more the general public will view this as something of interest. This will be discussed more at upcoming meetings and a formal vote taken within the next several months. It would be sad to see our visibility at Events come to an end, but the ECWBA can't continue to depend on only 6 or 7 members to carry the load. Sincerely, Gerard Schubert, President attachments: July 21 Minutes; GLCF sign-up sheet
