designed.  If you are interested in doing this please let Cheri know how many you
need.

We had over $17,000 in the General Fund.  Most of these donations came after

month early.  They are in Peak Creek now - then to Harry DeHaven Park for
complete clean-up hitting some shorelines.  Will finish up in Big Hole Holler.

Correspondence:  Mary suggested to send Dave Collett a “Thank You” card for
his service – Ron will plan an event for him at the Annual meeting.

Other Business:  Ron discussed getting with the Claytor Lake State Park personnel,
AEP and Pulaski Co. to see if provisions could be made for an abutment wall and a
place for burning debris.  Carol Metz will let her property be used for about another
year.  Discussed several sites but just not large enough.

Ron appointed a nominating committee:  Members are: John Johnson, Mike
Spraker, Dave Dobyns, Cheri Strenz. There was a short meeting of the Nominating
committee after the Board meeting.
