Fruehlingsfest - Jim Graeve thanks the Chamber for their very generous donation.  It was a great event.  Former Mayors were there to honor the Sisters.  Marthaler - It was nice to be honored.

 

Millstream Festival - Renslow - there was a request to try to get the Millstream Festival back to St. Joseph about 5 years ago.  Now there are two or three people who would like to chair the event and keep it as close as possible to how it was before.  The college would be the rain site - but they would like it to be in downtown St. Joseph.  The date was the final Sunday in Sept. so they will try to keep it the same.  They need a committee to put things together.

 

Habitat for Humanity - Ann Walters - still working on a land negotiation.  Will try to break ground in the fall.  St. Joseph Jaycees has most recently donated $10,000.  Central MN Federal Credit Union organized a golf tournament.  There were over 100 people.  Tim Herzog presented a check for $4800 for to Habitat for Humanity.

 

Lake Wobegon Trail meetings - Renslow - the communities are really getting excited about the trail.  Holdingford has built a covered bridge, Osakis is have a opening on the trail with Garrison Keillor.  He wants it to be the longest trail, but wants St. Joseph to be the headquarters.  Carmel Roll Ride had 100 more cyclists than last year.  Avon Area Arts Group is having their function the same weekend as the Carmel Roll Ride.  Please join us at the meeting at Charlies.

 

New business - meeting sponsors are needed for 2007 for August and November.  Please contact Janelle Von Pinnon - 363-7741.  Kay's Kitchen would like to cater at the Wobegon Trail head next week.  We need a $200 damage deposit.
