 We
welcomed a tag team with a great deal of valuable information
today. The head architect from Widseth Smith and Nolting which
is in charge of the plans for the new Forestview Middle School
which is being constructed in Baxter joined with Superintendent
Jerry Walseth to discuss the progress on the building. The first
member to crawl in the ring and face the Sertomans was our own
Kevin Donnay who is in charge of the plans for the magnificent
new structure. Planning for this building goes back to the early
90's with the ground breaking being held on March 12, 2003 and
completion scheduled for January of 2005. Plans are to move the
6th and 7th graders into the new building at that time including
Mississippi Horizons students which will mean some 8th graders.
The rest of the 8th grade will be moved into the building in the
fall . All the previous year's fourth grade will be entering
fifth grade at Forestview. The structure is set up with four 2
story wings to house 550 students at
 each
grade level-5-8. The concept of a school within a school will be
maintained since each floor will be a different team. One end of
the building is a large music area and the maintenance
facilities. A huge cafetorium will seat 550 at tables and 1,000
in chairs. It is also stepped with a stage area so that it can
be used for performances . The long narrow area in the middle is
the entrance and media center. The activity complex is also a
huge separate area so that it can be utilized more readily by
the public. One of the things Superintendent Walseth stressed is
the security of the building, a current public concern as well
as the fact that the building will allow for improvement in e ducation
at all levels. It is also equipped with state of the art air
quality equipment and air conditioning. The 180 acre facility
which was purchased from Potlatch for $450,000 will also see an
assortment of soccer, football, softball, and track fields. At
the present moment the activity center has a roof. The wings are
constructed and should be ready for roofing in a few weeks.
Everything is on time and under budget. You can check on the
progress of the building at

remodeling plans that go with this new construction. |

thanked everyone from the Noon Sertoma participants. President
Webb called Greg Straka and Pete Odell up and presented them with
pens so that next year they could keep a more accurate score. She
was very jealous because their team won the tournament with a
score of 60. |

September. Stay tuned for details. |

Schedule |

Remember: Greeters
(Be sure to take care of your duties that include meeting people
at the door and getting the ticket money counted and divided
with half going to Tami to give away and half to Diane for the
social committee's budget). As greeter you have several duties.
You need to arrive about 10 minutes early. It is your job to
greet people, help them find their badges and sell them a ticket
if they wish to participate. The money collected must be divided
by the Greeters equally--half goes to the Club Treasurer (Diane
Rook Johnson) and half goes to the Club President along with the
bucket of tickets. Be there by 11:45 and call somebody if you
can't. Call Patty Hartman. |

Rumor Corner: |
- Joe Schulte got fined for road rage.
- Edie also fined Todd Alguire for his traveling billboard
which she says is enough to inspire anyone to a little temper
tantrum.
- Robin Loftis has found a new product for making her toenails
shine. It is actually intended for the dog in the family and is
called Pawlish.
- More tal
 k
of the Nooner Club. It seems that Lowell Carlson has decided it
should meet earlier so now it is the Nooner but Sooner Club. The
Rookies didn't get the message. They decided to meet after lunch
for a "Quicky". Our president is much too relaxed with only 17
days left in her administration.
- Jeff Olson is on the spot. He collected his golf balls which
he won several meetings ago from Tami but he had to promise to
deliver one new member to the club before Tami leaves office.
- Mike Boen got fined today for his sartorial splendor. This
blue and white seersucker number was definitely a standout.
