At the all club assembly, it was all about the Mushroom Festival!  Due to some unforeseen circumstances, we had to move the meeting to the upper club house, but that didn't stop us from getting down to business.  First off Corey went through all the great things that happened with the festival this year.  Every facet of this festival seemed to be a success.  In the end the festival brought in a whopping 28,000 dollars!  Great Job Corey for putting this whole event together and making it a huge success!  

After Corey was done, Bob Kagy had the floor, for the 10th annual Pacific Northwest Mushroom Festival Bob Kagy and Randy Luke will be the chairs (hey sometimes we all need a break, and no one better than the guys who helped start the whole festival) Bob did give some very interesting statistics about the people attending our festival, it turns out we have people from 28 different states making their way to Lacey to partake in all of our festivities.  We each had a chance to give comment about the festival.  One resounding message was that yes the festival is hard work and yes we want to continue doing it.
