Spelling Bee wrap-up of 9^th annual, initiate planning for 10th

We need to make progress on planning for the 10^th Annual 19^th Ward Spelling Bee, and several decisions were made.

• The date for the bee was set as April 19^th pending agreement from the fraternity and availability of Hoyt Hall.

• We would reach out to Superintendent Terry Dade to speak

• T-shirts will all be the same color, making the ordering process much simpler. Schools will be distinguished using different colored sashes

• Call a special meeting on the Spelling Bee before October 9^th

Walk-in items

• John B shared a request for information from a person who is the lead founder of a proposed STEM charter school in Rochester. We decided to wait for additional feedback

The next committee meeting will be Tuesday November 5^th at 7 pm in the 19^th Ward Community Association office.
