Treasurer’s report accepted as read with a balance of $1980.08.
Old Business:
SEH/Revitalization Committee:
It will cost us $3000 just for SEH to develop an application
for the grants. We went to the town meeting without knowing a dollar amount. The town did not approve of that amount.
Judy spoke to the administrator of
the city of Siren. He will come to the next meeting to speak to us about how Siren went
about revitalizing their downtown.
Jerry Pardun feels that this
is something that we need to pursue.
Blood Drive:
The chicken will come from the
Log Cabin for the workers. There are usually about 10 dinners needed.
Wayne’s will have the
chips, juice, and cookies.
Bank will donate the cups and
napkins. Karen will meet with April about getting those items.
Food: Vera Krueger (Paul knows Vera, and will call her), Jen and Judy.
George, Jen, Judy, Karen, Kristin
can be there to help that day.
Fishing Contest:
There were plenty of prizes.
There were a lot of fish too. Biggest bass was 15# and the smallest fish was ¾”.
They sold a lot of the raffle
tickets.
Easter Egg Hunt:
It will be at 11 am at the park or town
hall.
We will fill eggs at 10 on the
21st at the town hall.
The bank is donating quarters.
We should have the kids come
in the front door.
We got the individual bags of chips
from Wayne’s last year; we will try to get them from them again this year.
Karen is still in charge of the
sawdust pile. She is going to donate that sawdust.
The Lions Club will be there
to serve food again this year.
We still have $200 to spend for
prizes and candy for the egg hunt.
Park:
The art teacher will not approach
the students again about the sign until mid April—that is when he has his next art class.
Pam Brown, she works at Wayne’s, would be a
possibility to make the sign. She used to make professional signs.
Karen spoke with someone about
logs for her new house. We can speak to him about the new park building.
Dan Dyson is someone who may
be interested in helping us with the project.
Send people to Judy to discuss
the building.
Elections:
We are due for elections in April.
Recruitment Meeting:
Try for one in April.
Brochure:
Paul can help make a brochure.
Send Jen emails for any ideas.
New Business:
DMO-Destination Marketing Organization:
June 14th-21st-40th
anniversary of the Wild River Act?
We were thinking of setting that
as the date to dedicate our park 9on Thursday possibly).
