Council Notes:
it was moved to stop passing the stick and switch to open discussion about topics raised in circle.
It was determined that there was at least $361.00 in the bank at present from recent fundraising efforts
After much discussion and debate, the following consenses were reached:
The kitchen will use the money in the bank to fix the trailer, get new tires, and repack bearings if needed. Dave D has volunteered to get 1 estimate on the repairs (thank you Dave) and as long as the cost is low he will proceed with a local vendor, if the cost is high, a second estimate will be obtained and then work will proceed with best available vendor.
The kitchen will spend up to $150.00 for water filters for the 2013 season.If there is enough in the bank after other pre departure expenses the kitchen will purchase a Deer cart to replace Billy’s cart.
There will be 2 Yard Sale fundraisers, the weekends of June 1st and 8th hosted by Tommy.
These will be announced online, in person and at Miko’s weekly fun raisers

SUNDAY NOTES 4/28/13:
There were 13 family members present for council on Sunday.
One family member got her rainbow name! Welcome Sister Dorie! (formerly Grandma five times)
We were able to completely empty our host’s garage of all the Turtle junk that had been rejected from the kitchen trailer. We did triage of all the junk, and put aside everything that was usable for the Turtle Jr. Trailer. Of what was left after that, we recycled what could be, and threw out a very small amount of materials that were not recyclable. The amount of equipment that had to be landfilled was limited to less than one full garbage bag! Yay!
All the useable equipment was put in the Turtle Jr. Trailer, which our host agreed to keep on his land. Our host also agreed to get the trailer tires and wheel bearings fixed/replaced, and will get reimbursed later with the money allocated by council.
Included with these notes are the inventory of the Turtle Trailer (taken in August 2012) and inventory of Turtle Jr. Trailer (taken Sunday 4/28/13).
Inventory available on request.
