APPOINTMENTS BEFORE THE BOARD
Mr. Wayne Surratt, Speaks on behalf of the Plaza Appealers Handbell Team, and the
Senior Games State Finals to be held in October 2004: Mr. Surratt said nine residents of the
Plaza Apartments comprised the Plaza Appealers Handbell Team. He said the team recently won
first place in the Senior Games, and the group could now travel to Raleigh, NC to represent Iredell
County in the state finals. Surratt said, however, the trip would involve expenses for registration,
hotels and food. Mr. Surratt said the members were on a fixed income, and the expenses would
create an undue burden. He requested a Ietter from the board of commissioners indicating the team
was legitimately seeking donations for the trip. Mr. Surratt said the letter would help the members
with their fundraising activities.
Carol Childress, the handbell team director, said the residents enjoyed music making, but the
Senior Games involved many other activities.
Commissioner Williams asked how much the Raleigh trip would cost.
Surratt said an additional 5500 was needed.
OTIO by Chairman Johnson to direct the clerk to the board to draft a letter in
support of the team's fundraising activities.
VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0.
