Treasurer's Report
A certificate of deposit will mature on April 21, 2006 and it was agreed that it will be invested in a 1 year certificate of deposit.

On motion of Bruce, seconded by John, statement from Prof Erny's Music in the amount of $2,853.63 discussed, and approved for payment.

New Business
It had been requested by one or more counselors that Pre-K students be eligible for awards.  This would require an amendment to our By-Laws and we are unsure what other funds might be available for Pre-K students.  Our guest, Beverly Breaux, with the Lafayette Parish School Board will check on this question for us and let us know.

Hayley will contact Julie for help in completing the application for grant from Gannett Publishing.
