Board members <br />Tyrone Hayden gave a report that the Salsa on the Square event was a success, and everyone <br />seemed to be having a good time. Cheri Bedford also reported the same, but that next year the <br />event should be on a different day, but continue during Spanish Heritage month in September. The <br />event itself had around 300 people attend, and is expected to grow. Latin Band and dance <br />instructors were a huge hit. Expecting to get sponsors for next year will be easier. Glee Emmite <br />reported that she had visited with a couple who drove from Mt. Vernon to come to the event. <br />Greg Kee and Will Walker both attended and worked the Hatch Chile Fest. They reported that it <br />was a successful day and everyone had a great time. Cheri reported that it was a success as well, <br />but next year would need to appoint a separate volunteer coordinator from the board due to a few <br />shortages of volunteers who signed up. Chairman Kee thanked Mayor Reginald Hughes for coming <br />and cooking the 300 burgers sliders. This was a huge help. The suggestion was made that next year <br />500 sliders be served. <br />b.
