The TCTC picnic will be held on Friday, May 4, from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Anderson Campus. Renting an inflatable for the kids was one suggestion for the picnic; however, Tonique researched this proposal and found that it is not allowed. Tonique notified Sharon Colcolough that the revision to the Presidential Medallion for Staff Excellence was approved by the SAB.

3.          ISSUE DISCUSSED:          Old Business—Approve Minutes from February Meeting

Vicky Graves made a motion to accept the minutes as printed; Tonia McClain seconded. The motion passed with no opposition.

4.                                                                          ISSUE DISCUSSED:          New Business—Plans for the TCTC Picnic

Sidewalk chalk, volleyball, candy bags, and a water balloon toss were games at previous TCTC picnics. Corn hole and tether ball have been provided before by The Smoking Pig. Tonique will contact Sue Bladzik to see if there are any supplies at the Anderson Campus left over from previous picnics. The Board agreed that we should contact The Smoking Pig about catering the event for us again this year, so Tonique will contact them for pricing. Cups, plates, and condiments were provided by them last year. Jennifer will get tablecloths, and Tonique will work with the Graphics Department to revise the brochure for this year. A line will be added to the brochure to send payments to Tonique Dennis or Kelli Harrison. The brochures will be distributed during the first week of April, and the R.S.V.P. date will be April 20. Jennifer asked about decorations for the tables and what funds would be used to purchase them. Vicky suggested mason jars with jelly beans or roasted peanuts. Tonique will talk with Debbie Nelms to see what can be purchased with Foundation funds.
