highway department on tree problems. |

take place on Saturday, October 30th. Volunteers will
meet at 9am in Abraham's Park to plant the trees that
were dedicated. Those who dedicated the trees will be

needs to appoint a new officer who will chair the
Communications Committee. Christina Staubi will handle
the website responsibilities. Other responsibilities
include e-mailing and some general outreach activities. |
|
Fundraising Committee (Evelyn Krueger):
| New Business:
| There are 12 debits
from our account to 12 people and we are unsure why.
Although there are 3 deposits that are correct in our
general records, 1 deposit is missing from our account.
Evelyn will investigate. |
| We are expecting a
letter from a grant opportunity to arrive at the village
building. We expect that it will be a denial of
funding. |

| There is $5843.75 in
the Village Green account. |
| There is $3920.00 in
the village budget for the Village Green. |

the village tree removal budget. |
|
Additional Business
| Catherine will look into getting
aerial photos for the village to see if we can use them to help plan for
tree plantings. |
| The Village Green meeting will
continue to be held on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. |
| A discussion occurred about whether
officers should continue to chair committees. People brainstormed on
how to increase active membership. Mark suggested that committee
meetings be held outside the monthly general meeting, as committee
meetings are where most of the work gets done. It was agreed that
officers should remain committee chairs. |
Motion to Close Meeting
| The meeting was adjourned at 8:03 p.m. |
Next Meeting
| Our next meeting will be held on
Tuesday, November 16th, at 7:00 p.m. in the village hall. |
