Minutes of the 5/23/05 and 6/21/05 meegings were approved by Barbara Young and seconded by Jane Hutnik.

Fall Kick Off
The Fall Kick Off meeting will be scheduled when Jennifer Rumore can finally contact Alan Robinson. She has made several attempts and will try again. When we know his availability, we will decide on the meeting place of either the Merriam Avenue School or the Sussex County Community College Theater, depending on the response. A flyer will go out with the newletter along with a tear off indicating interest. Alan Robinson will talk about "Measures to Prevent Your Child from Being Kidnapped, Abducted & Sexually Exploited". It was suggested that separate flyers be sent to centers to post for any parent interest. When Jennifer speaks to Alan, she will also ask if we are allowed to charge a small fee for a desert reception.

State Conference/Professional Recognition/Public Relations
Jane Hutnik will e-mail the State to arrange for Jennifer Rumore's Conference admission and hotel room in Atlantic City. She will also put a few lines in the Sussex County Herald's Business Section about Jennifer Rumore of Smart Start and Smart Start Too receiving the Professional Recognition Award from SCAEYC and that Maureen Greiner of Tiny Town Pre-School, a NAEYC accredited pre-school, received the Becker Award.
