Winter
warm-up - First Friday in February - Chad is chair - need committee
for door prizes. Pastor Ron has agreed to emcee the event. Need
Kelly award committee. Deadline for nominations is January 10. Please
get nominations to Jane or Chad. Annual award to person with
community/civic/business involvement. Named after Dr. Kelly who was
the first award winner. The chamber board will choose the winner.
James Wedgewood will be the entertainment.
Wobegon
Trail Plaque - need to compile a list of donors. Doug Danielson might
have a list. Molly, Cory and Jane will co-chair a committee to help
find away to put the fund for the building current as it is currently
$58,000 in the hole. We should probably bring that fund together
before we do a plaque.
Community Holiday Party - Troy Gunderson - very snowy, but lots of
kids came. 27 volunteers from CSB/SJU - Thank you SO much for your
help. Firehall was a very good venue - small but controlled. Carl
Terhaar volunteered the gym at the Lab School for next year. Do we
want to do the same next year? We need to get together earlier with a
committee as this year was too rushed.
Veteran's Day Parade Update - Mike McDonald - tremendously
successful. Lot's of publicity. The veteran's were moved by the
accolades. Terrific event.
Light Up
St. Joseph - Jane Litchy - people questioned that we didn't have an
event this year. 2008 needs a committee to start in July to organize
the ballots and advertising - about 6 people. Perhaps one large
committee to do the Light Up and the Holiday Party. Volunteerism is
down - try to get help from other organizations. Do everything
together - maybe a tree lighting in the afternoon to bring people into
town with caroling and hot chocolate.
Smoke-Free Communities - Alicia Bauman.
Diane
Moeller - The new school is on schedule and budget. Looks good.
Packing up Kennedy in June and moving in late July. Ordering
furniture now.
