The three new Executive Board Members for 2009 are Sue Stephens, Gopal Garg and Bill Snavely. Treasurer, Donna Thompson, gave the Treasurer’s Report.

Old Business:
Farmers Market – There was some discussion regarding coverage at the booth to make sure we have people to pour samples as well as talk to prospective members. Also, display tables and equipment. Donnie said he would take his equipment and a bubbling carboy. Tom Hull would offer a kit wine for display.

T-Shirts – Donna would like to take orders for shirts as the company likes more than one at a time. Please call her.

New Business:
Wine Fest – Betty Nettles presented the information in an email regarding the Wine Fest and Hotel. The Wine Fest is at a different location this year and found a Quality Inn less than 3 miles from the Event. A group rate on a block of 10 rooms for $79.95 (standard king or 2 queens). The Wine Fest is being held at Honey Horn Plantation on Hilton Head. The hotel has an Applebee’s attached with a 10% off meals for hotel guests.

Kathy Snavely announced she had 40 bottles for the taking.

The Secretary has made up a new calendar for 2009, based on the Executive Board Meeting assignments. Look for it on the website.

Website – Steve Parker is updating the website and look for new changes in that.

Strawberries – Betty Nettles asked if anyone would be interested in strawberries when they become cheaper, most likely late March or early April.

Bill Piastuch made a motion to close the meeting and Mark Stephens seconded.

Respectively submitted,

Betty Nettles, Secretary
