Reminder from Claire to let her know if something comes up that needs publicizing. She reported that she is now sending via e-mail the posters for each of our programs to area churches and resorts. President's report: New business: Work on the parking lot was started the second week in October. The new sidewalk is done. The front sidewalk was widened, and in the back of the building the sidewalk was made longer. The blacktopping has not been done yet. We have a new laser printer, badly needed, the cost of which was donated. It was purchased from Watt Computer of Jenkins. The colors needed to finish painting the walls of the computer room and the kids' room where the doors were removed were picked out and when purchased, will be applied to those walls. The use of the new wall space is not determined. • Jean Clark reported on the Kitchigami programs. There will probably be no Legacy programs until after the first of the year. New business: • Basket Auction was held Sat., Oct. 12, 6-9 p.m. at Deacon's Lodge. We were down $1,000 from previous years, the net intake this year being $6,797. We discussed the possibility of not having the auction. We talked about possible substitutes: golf tournament, a run, a big name show, but will continue to talk at future meetings about possibilities.
