Of the people who did get refunds, about 120 incurred fees. North storage went up about $25 per month. Feed the troops, 3 teams donated spring fair donate their entry fees and some from judging fees. $800 in total. Some transferred to their membership fees or donated to the organization.

Treasurer's Report/Update – Lance/Paul
Current profit of 4k with about 2k of refunds and approx. 3.5k of revenues from Spring Fair. If you backed all those out would show a loss of $1,300-$1,500 at this point. Refunds still in progress. A motion to accept the treasurer's report passed.

Committee Reports:

Event Committee – Bill
All-inclusive event Beaverton Pitmaster BBQ Cookout!. Charity event for High School. Target 16 teams with a $4,000 Prize. August 29-30. They are interested in a possible judging class. No cooking demos or class. They might add a Steak Category. This replaces the OR Bacon Championship from last year. Possible 2-day turn-ins, i.e. small meats day 1 with the big meats on day 2. Different ideas are being considered. No deposit received yet. The board approved a motion to sanction this competition contingent upon receiving a deposit.
With the current pandemic environment, the event will need to make a final call 7-10 days prior to the start date whether it will go or not.

Pasco – has canceled until 2021.

New sanctioning applications?
None outstanding.

Jane said that we have a new insurer for our event coverage.

Update Spring Fair – Pat
The Fair is meeting to determine the fate of the 2020 Spring Fair. It is unlikely to happen.

No info from Vail on the Whistler competition at this point.

A motion passed to adjourn the meeting and it was adjourned at 7:30 pm

The next board meeting will be a phone meeting on May 20 at 6:30 PM.
