Discussion re: CSG donation to this Olympics. Feedback from students who participated said it was a great experience, per Chuck Rutledge. Phil Shoemaker gave good feedback as well. Helps the students and the schools because they can identify strengths and weaknesses. Chuck Rutledge moved to donate $500. Dave Ezell moved to donate $1,000. Jim Kahlfeldt seconded the $1,000 motion. All in favor, none opposed, motion approved.
