Bridge motioned we send them $100.00, second by Rickard, motion passed. The gear rack for the new Breezy Station was discussed.

Rickard motioned to purchase it, second by Nordby, motion passed, with D. Loven voting no. The ice rescue donation story and picture were never published in the newspaper.
