At the FISH board meeting 4/20, a discussion regarding future actions of the FISH/ORLC venture were discussed.

Future field trips: We suggested that FISH choose our next visit but they requested that ORLC research that and so we are scheduled to meet with the staff of the Philomath
Community Services Food Bank on the morning of May 26th. This is a food bank similar in size and population to FISH, and hopefully will represent a good model as we
look to our future together.

Financing the preliminary study: We announced that ORLC has authorized $2000 toward hiring professional help to get the preliminary studies started and we are ready to move forward with this when FISH is.

Request for liaison: It will become increasingly important to have both organizations involved in decision-making as we move forward. FISH has had a steering committee in the past to accomplish this and much work has been done in the past by FISH in this regard. We hope that in the future ORLC will be able to help FISH continue to help our community.
