Old Business
UD has provided $1000 to market the August 2nd Athletes to End Alzheimer’s 5K run-walk at 7:30 a.m. in Bethany.  The cost is $30 to register with Team Osher.

Plans for the Instructor Recognition in the Spring of 2016 are being worked out.

New Business
The council discussed the desirability of expanding the Ocean View program.  It was agreed that this was a useful program which was not costing us money to run.  We will try to expand this program.  Dolores Fiegel suggested we have some kind of social event this fall in the Bethany area to interest more people or that we host a program in the South Coastal Library as a way to network and expand there.

Anna Moshier requested the purchase of 14 folding tables for classroom use at a cost not to exceed $2000.  Carol West made a motion and Lynn Kroesen seconded it. The money will come from the equipment fund.

Because of time constraints Dolores motioned we adjourn the meeting and Lynn Kroesen seconded the motion.  The meeting was adjourned at 1:25 p.m.  The date of the August meeting was decided by email and will take place on August 17 at 10:00am.

Respectfully submitted,
Mary Folan
