OLD BUSINESS
1. Cookie Walk: The cookie walk made $1,313.10. This was a good year and the raffle went very well.
BUILDING PLANS:
1. Back Door: Sara advised that Ben Moderow had promised to come today to do the work but he did not show up. It is disappointing to not have the job done yet. It was decided to call him and give him 30 days to complete the project or we will find someone else to do the job.
2. Back awning: Sara advised that she talked to the Village Clerk who told her the Village has $500 deductible insurance and that we would have to prove what happened. Since the awning was removed by the company and disposed of there is really no way that we can now show or prove what happened. Sara stated that the Clerk said she would contact the garbage firm but there is no guarantee that anything will come of it. We still have the problem of no covering on the window. After discussion of the cost and advisability of replacing the awning, it was decided to put some kind of covering on the inside of the window.
NEW BUSINESS
1. New Board Member: Sara advised that Callie Jerome said no to serving on the board because she is too busy. Sara talked to Mindy Schmidt but she also said no unless we couldn’t find anyone else. Sara talked to Betty Kastenschmidt and she is thinking it over.
2. Fundraisers for 2014: A discussion was held about what fundraisers to have this year. Sara said that she has received requests for having a dinner and auction again as we have had in the past. This option was discussed and it was decided to pursue it.
TOPICS FROM THE FLOOR
Sara presented a flyer from the 8th Grade Boys Basketball team requesting donations for an upcoming tournament in Stevens Point. After a discussion, it was decided that we would not make a donation.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:50 P.M.
Lenora Glover, Secretary
Due to conflicts the next meeting will be on Monday, February 10, 2014 at 6:00 P.M. at the Library.
