Renee Moodie made a motion to add $5,000 to our Rainy Day Fund, and to use the $20,000 set aside for investing, in the City of Pequot Lakes Investment Account via Wells Fargo Bank which seemed the best of the three choices brought to us by David Anderson. Jean Clark seconded the motion. All ayes. Motion by Renee Moodie to accept the Treasurer's report, seconded by Jean Clark. All ayes • Publicity: All is going well. Reminder from Claire to let her know if something comes up that needs publicizing • President's report: New business: Parking lot is completed, including painting of lines. We haven't paid for it yet but will after City Council meets. We've been having some members of the Breezy Point North Stars, a junior hockey league (men aged 16-21) volunteer for a couple of hours on Thursday evenings. Thanks to them! John handed out a copy to each of us of the new Bylaws. • Jean Clark reported on the Kitchigami programs. We haven't had a program since summer. They have not been offered to us. Claire mentioned that Pine River Library and Crosslake Library both had a program featuring Lorna Landvik, a very popular writer, but Jean said our library wasn't offered the chance to have that Legacy program. Jean will call Marian Ridge, head of Kitchigami Library System, to fnd out why. Claire Nagel announced that the library will sponsor a Photography Workshop led by Scott Pederson on Saturday, December 7 at 2:00 pm.
