AUDIENCE COMMENTS: Cindi Monds is speaking for the Rotary Club. They are having a Kids Healthy Fun Run. They practice 2 times a week and then the Fun Run is May 20 at 10am at the walking track. She wanted to see if they could use the Pavilion for an hour each night and during the Fun Run. The board said that would be ok. However on May 20 if someone rents the pavilion she could not use the pavilion. The other option, the Rotary could use the band shell area on the Fun Run Day if pavilion is booked. Cindi said that would work.
