Misc.:
Lynn Phillips e-mailed Christeen and is interested in having the salary survey done again. No decision was made on if and when this may be done.
It was suggested that we present the students at ECTC gifts to be presented to them at their pinning. Tess will check on the date and purchase the gifts.
Scholarship info will be sent out at the end of the school year. Scholarships are available to students who reside in HDHA component counties and/or attend school in the component counties. Tess will handle that information.

Trustee Report:
KDHA will now be known as KYDHA due to Kansa having the KDHA logo first.
KYDHA website is up and running. HDHA is allowed to post on their website. KYDHA needs a 1st vice-president who will then take over the presidency.  No one from HDHA was interested in this position. One volunteer is needed for a delegate for KYDHA convention. Charlotte volunteered to fill this position. One Hundred students will have table clinic this year at the KYDHA. HDHA needs to present 2 $50.00 dollar gifts for auction at the annual session. Charlotte volunteered to get one gift.  Anybody with an idea for the second gift please let Rebecca and/or Denise know.  Also if anyone has Christmas gifts they are interested in re-gifting they are being accepted too for the auction. Get items to Denise before the KYDHA session. Annual Component report needs to be sent to Donna Ruley before annual session. Susan C. will see that our report gets turned in.

Respectfully submitted,

Susan Caschera,
Secretary HDHA
