Hall Rental (Dan Keeley):  

• Silver Squares Square Dance Club inquired about the hall rental sometime in October.  The upper hall will be used for a workshop and perhaps they would use the grange overnight.  The membership voted to set the rate at $60. A liability waiver would need to be signed and permission slips would be required if they stay overnight.
• We have a rental for August 28 which is our regular meeting.  We voted to cancel our August meeting unless something comes up that necessitates us to find an alternative date or location to have a meeting.

New Business:

• Springwater Grange will be hosting a Candidate Forum for Clackamas County Commissioner at a date to be determined.  Dan is interested in hosting a forum at Maplewood Grange to address Measure 97, the corporate tax measure.  October would be the target date.  The membership had no objection. 

 
The meeting was adjourned at 6:00 pm.  Next regular scheduled meeting September 25, 2016.
 
Respectfully Submitted
