TUIT REPORT
Brad Thompson, the Tuit’s creator, gave us a large list of rules for the Tuit. I didn’t write them all down so see the creator.
Those fined were: Steve Conard, Jeff Brewer, and Bob Bush. Brad was going to give it back to Paul Brown but he
ducked out early. So Terry Brigman mentioned Brad should keep it another week. Terry now has the Tuit.
PROGRAM:
Joe Copeland led the program about Ambucs 2004-05 Strategic Plan. There are 3 new clubs building in our region. He talked about Friends Recruiting, someone who cannot be active but can help financially. The goal is 1,500 members, currently at 1,000. Ambucs resource center crews are currently working on the Building and Marketing Plan–The Fun Way to Serve. New spokespeople are Jerome Davis, a bull rider who was injured; and Scott Wimmer, from the Nascar #22 Race Team. The Scholar Program has awarded $170,000 in national awards. So far 350 Toddler Amtrykes have been shipped nationally. This year 957 larger Amtrykes have been given away nationally. (4,495 since the inception)
