1.  Discussed stage section storage.  Group approved the purchase of a trailer for $3,000 to store and transport stage sections.  Request had been made by city workers to have trailer available to make the transport/set-up and take-down easier.  Request was taken to ACT Meeting of July 14 and approved that rental fees for Portable Performance Stage would be used to pay for the trailer.
 
2.  Raffle Ticket Update.  As of 7/21/05 Mike Z. reports that 320 tickets (32 books of 10 each) have been sold and the money turned in, 430 tickets (43 books) are currently checked out money not turned in and 250 tickets (25 books) are yet to be checked out.  We have currently deposited $6,400.00 which means we have covered our prize expenses.  Please work hard on the 43 books currently checked out.  This is a great team of volunteers and we can do it!  Jeff L. volunteered to look at other areas to set up the stage and sell tickets.
