Minutes from last meeting:
The May meeting of the USS Columbus was called to order at 5:38 PM by First Officer Kathleen Cook. Other members of the Executive Staff in attendance were Melinda Kincaid, Eric Davis and Kyle Curry. No items were voted on and there was no new business to discuss. There were 15 members and 5 guests present.
On July 23, select theaters will be showing 2 episodes of the Next Generation: "Where no one has gone before" and "DataLore". Local theaters holding this event include the Cinemark Movies 16 at the Stoneridge shopping Center, Gahanna and the AMC Easton Town Center 30.
1. Don't leave children unattended with sparklers or other fireworks
2. Don't take pets to see the fireworks. It hurts their ears and scares them.
3. When you're using fireworks keep a bucket of water close by in case of fire
4. Don't wear loose fitting clothing when you're around fireworks as it could catch fire.
5. Use safe practices when cooking on the grill, use the right tools and have a bucket of water or fire extinguisher nearby.
We would also like to start planning for our 25th anniversary in 2014! We would like to get some definite ideas now, so we can start setting some funds aside to cover the cost of the event.
