The following agenda items were covered by Pat Haydon:

The YMCA had previously been given $600.00. A check was then presented in the amount of $300.00 to Dave Steele, Executive Director of the YMCA. He stated this money would be used to for their youth sports teams.
(2) 2007 in Review:
• Last year’s Silent Auction netted $10,216.87 for The American Cancer Society.

• Grand Total for The American Cancer Society - $20,816.50. 
• Salvation Army Angel Tree – Jim Beam sponsored 50 children, and Christmas gifts were bought by our WAABI members. In addition, $200 was donated to the Salvation Army. This was the first year for this event at our plant, and it went over exceedingly well.
