3. Jesse Frey brought information about printing a business/service directory for the businesses in Holly and the surrounding area and furthering the membership of the group. Discussion followed regarding this idea and what could be done with that possibility and places to post the publication or include with the Holly Shopper.  Rod Swisher then made a motion and Cynthia Simon seconded to form a “Membership Committee,” consisting of Rod Swisher, Tracy Kirmer, and Jesse Frey, that would further discuss this idea and come to next month’s meeting with more information.  The motion carried unanimously.
