What this means
The Commission said French Evening was well received and brought in $3,792 in profit, even though attendance was lower and the event cost less than last year. It also decided to save Ed Cook’s painting for future use instead of selling it now. Members used the meeting to plan the Wine and War event and discuss several exchange projects with Angouleme, including runners, comics, sports, and possible future bike and firefighter exchanges.
