BayFest-Lori Jacob-Bernie B. was the winner of the raffle with the ticket without a name.  Lori stated that there was a lack of communications in several areas during the planning of BayFest, such as not getting the correct information in SaraBay’s newsletter, prospective volunteers calling to find out their assignments after emails were sent to them, tables and chairs not set up when scheduled.  In order to coordinate BayFest next year, Lori needs 5-7 people to be on the committee with her.  Jean Colson agreed to be on the committee. Lori will send out an email asking for more volunteers.
