HARVC/Service Provider Merge – since only a few service providers at the meeting today, we will put this on the agenda for next meeting in August.

Best Summer Ever Fair debrief – will put this on agenda for August also.

Low attendance at Service Provider meeting – we will discuss this in August. Suggestion that we need proactive agenda with initiatives that group is working on together, to keep people interested and involved in coming to meetings instead of just service updates.

Next Meeting: Tuesday, August 17th at 10AM at Neighborhood House

Meeting adjourned.
