Sewers:

Bonnie will make a decision within the next week on whether or not to pursue the sale of bonds to fund the sewer project.

Winterfest:

Obviously a very large disappointment that we were unable to have the winterfest. There were so many people who made donations for prizes that Yvette felt they should be thanked in the next newsletter anyway. Some of the businesses who made donations volunteered to let us keep them for our next event. Others just suggested that we destroy them. I personally wanted to thank those people who were ready to help us carry out this event. I can hardly wait until next year. Hopefully we will have more cooperative weather.

Newsletter:

Laura would like to put out the next newsletter in March. Suggestions for articles:

Invoices:

There was much discussion about the current system of collecting dues and reporting a list to the Riparian magazine for distribution. Many people were concerned because invoices were out so late this year. It was decided that the invoices will go out in October and we will change the due date on them to December 31 in order to receive the Riparian.

>Motion was made to change the system effective immediately for any new payments of memberships to designate that dues paid before December 31 for the following year will receive the Riparian magazine. Motion made by Stan, seconded by Richard, motion passed.
