<br />with the help of Linda Causton, we have the elementary kids, <br />S.A.D.D., Minnesota Target, school principals and student council <br />youth involved and informed about the project. 500 completed <br />posters were displayed at our meeting and are available for <br />committee use. Rick Olson has had several meetings with high <br />school youth and principals too. One member of the student <br />council announced at the Rotary meeting, "Rick Olson came and <br />personally spoke to our council, we are very excited about this <br />project, it is just the kind of thing we have wanted to be part <br />of." Our committee is taking alot of personal effort and time <br />- and it shows in the enthusiasm generated. Thanks to Rick <br />also for informing the Minnesota Builders Assn. and the Minnesota <br />realtors board. They also want to be of help in promoting the <br />build and donating labor and materials. Their publications will <br />feature our event. Rick will speak to all the state's chambers <br />about the event around the first of June. Thanks big guy. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />The Committee reviewed a proposed, corporate contribution letter. <br />The success of this approach to obtain additional monies will <br />rely heavily on "who we know" to get this letter to the right <br />people. Personal contact will be needed, then a mailing, then <br />another followup, will be needed to enhance our success ratio. <br />Was the advice given by Charlie Houle and Hank Duitsman. Please <br />call Patsy Kropuenske with people's names, within companies. <br />When the packets are ready for contact to be made, you will <br />be supplied that information. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Hank Duitsman will contact the mayors of the five other towns <br />involved in our school district to make sure they have been <br />made away of our plans and progress. <br /> <br />Charlie will contact Patsy Kropuenske about Franklin Outdoor <br />signs, as he has a contact there. We really need a billboard, <br />or some type of signage on 169. <br /> <br />June 8, Tom Z., Linda F., Rick 0., will present a budget to <br />the Elk River United Way committee to see what kind of assistance <br />they could provide for the promotional monies needed for this <br />project. Over $2,000 will be needed for signage, etc., details <br />attached to your May 20 meeting agenda notes. <br /> <br />Our next meeting date is Thursday, June 24, 4:00 to 5:00. See <br />you then. <br /> <br />II <br /> <br />e <br />
