Issues & Projects for May / June / July / August

• Added Gillis to Board page & Google Groups
• Lots of news items in July and many, many events added to calendar.
• Request from the Wayne County Tourism Bureau to use our photos. Their RFP notes "commercial" usage. Should we charge additional fee for use in Social Media and/or Billboards?
• Sales call with Friends Fellowship. Successful! Thanks, Karen!
• Returned to office at the City Building. Set up took a while, as the new computer hadn't ever been used here. Had to order new converter in order to use 2 monitors. Got Carbonite working again, albeit, slowly.
• Enjoyed a week's vacation in June.
• Bugs affected both our Trivia program and the Member's Text Rotation. Fixed after some research and tweaking.
• Photography and Photo Processing.
• Husband took photos of EAA flight.
• Ill - took 2 days sick time while waiting on COVID test, which was negative.
• Volunteered time to take photos at State Fair Band Day. Husband also contributed.
• Followed up on State Tax letter, sent by mistake. Spent several hours chasing this down to get it corrected. Frustrating! Ultimately cleared.
• Met with Karen Seal to answer incoming board member questions.
• Project Time Report (Approximate!)
• Updated Credit Card number across vendors who auto-bill.
• Note: I have 64.5 hours of vacation time left that expires in mid-September. I can ask for a 3 month extension, which I will do, but will plan on using this up this fall.
