Justin Bolz-Andolshek has volunteered to take the job,but was unable to be here today. We are ahead of last year. Report upcoming next month. Executive Secretary's Report—Breakfast with Santa on Dec. 6`h went well. Lots of kids enjoyed visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Claus. We have sold 350 fireman's calendars thru the Chamber. We have 50 left, so if you know anyone who wants one, let them know that when they are sold,that's all. We have also sold a fair number of playing cards for the Scenic Byway. New lure books are out and sent to the first two of the sport shows. The Christmas for Kids applications came thru the Chamber this year. The City isn't involved in that any more. It seemed to go very well. The Candle Light Vigil for Dru was attended by over 500 people on December 17`h. It was a very nice service. The perpetual candle donated by the three Catholic Churches (Pequot Lakes, Pine River and Nisswa)is burning in the Chamber Lobby. Father Zeck told me to let him know when we need more candles. Kendall Candles donated 700 candles and more were also donated by Wal Mart. Several people have donated money, which I bring to Lakes State Bank for the fund set up there. Six people from the community are going to the Blandin Retreat the end of this month. The bills have gone out again and a few people have responded. I'll be calling the remaining ones. 1
