Ray Carlisle asked that each project take 10 books to give out as needed. EOC programs should take more as needed. The cost of the printing of the booklets was $1,196. Thanks to the Billings crew for taking care of this. There was a suggestion made that at the annual COE conference that a session be held about the making and distribution of the booklets.
