3.  The Board heard about  the various Covid 19 realities for the store and discussed requiring staff to wear masks  when on the sales floor and moving closing hours back to 9pm on June 1 along with the success of the Curbside Pickup Program which has been a bright spot throughout the pandemic.

4.  The Board Nominations and Recruitment Committee recommended former board member Casey Szymanski to fill a vacant board seat which was approved by the Board.  Welcome, Casey!

6.  The Board is seeking applicants for the annual board election which will take place in October in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the Members.  Board candidate applications will be available in the store and online beginning on July 1 with the deadline for submission of the application on Monday, August 24 at midnight.
