NEW BUSINESS Suggestions for next year's Achievement Day donation letters: Assign clubs to contact businesses - local clubs contact local businesses - personal contact is better. July meeting - have list of businesses divided into communities for clubs to contact. Achievement Days - It was reported that a good time was had by all. Thursday and Friday worked out well for most. Maybe parents could help out in food stand. Send thank yous to: Wyndmere Auto, Darcy Heitkamp, Wyndmere School, Wyndmere Fire Department, Wyndmere Community Club, Jerome Lillestol. 4-H Building 1. Rewrite lease to reflect current conditions - (use barn one day a year for 4-H activities - as it was written in 1960). Right now building is used for camper and boat storage - that generates $2,000/year income. 2. Clean up area around building and make repairs - doors. Rich Spellerberg had volunteered to make metal 4-H sign for front of building. Green foundation needs paint. New doors - big door $750, walk door - $139. Could easily spend $4,000 for repairs and clean up. City will help with some of the clean up. At the present time 4-H spends about $100/year for insurance and electricity. City could use part of it for special impound items. Committee to meet with contractor regarding barn clean up and repair - Matt Danuser, Dale Siebert, Rich Spellerberg. Motion was made and seconded to give committee permission to move ahead whatever they feel is right to spend. A clean up day for 4-H clubs will be set in the future. It was suggested to set up work day during 4-H week. It would have to be arranged to have a loader come in prior to that to level ground. The question was asked whether the fee could be upped for storing campers and boats? This will be looked into. 4-H Week - October 6-12 Window display - Helping Hands will do a display again this year. What can we do to challenge clubs to do displays? Clubs will be encouraged to do something because it is a special year for 4-H Flag will be put up at Town Centre Square or Daily News.
