 Pat
Smith joined the Sertomans for lunch today to give us some
information on the new visitor center which will serve both the
Paul Bunyan Arboretum and the Paul Bunyan Trail Head.
Preliminary plans have been done with NorSon doing the designing
and the rendition. Plans include a small theater which will seat
60, classrooms, interpretive displays, a warming room for winter
sports, meeting rooms, a small gift shop and restrooms. Plans
include hosting educational classes and seminars, facilitating
tourism and hosting social activities and sporting events.
Arboretum staff currently employees one full time person and one
part time. The new building hopefully will provide enough income
to support five full time employees.Mr. Smith was here to talk
about funding. Approximate cost for the building will be about
one million dollars. The Board is currently seeking donations
especially larger ones from corporations and business. They are
looking for $10,000 donations payable over three years. Those
contributing will be listed as major sponsors on a large display
board in the new building. Totals so far are between $300.000
and $350.000. Fas 829-7761 Dean Zenner. Both Jeff Diehl and Mike
Boen are on the Board and can be contacted for further
information or to arrange a donation.
 Pat
Johnson also spoke today about Kinship Partners. Kinship is
totally supported by donations and its two major fund raisers
are the United Way and Taste of the Lakes.This wonderfully
luscious sounding event is scheduled for November 23rd at Breezy
Point. Only fifty more tickets remain for the event which sees
local restaurants, liquor stores and distributors giving those
who make the $50 donation a chance to sample many varieties of
food and drink. This year's new area at the dinner is a Martini
Bar. Call 829-4606 to purchase tickets or see our own Jim Park.
Kinship provides mentoring for elementary and junior high
students and is always looking for people to volunteer to work
with the kids. |

The FAS Program was designed to encourage people to read the newsletter. Even those who attend the meeting can benefit from reviewing the announcements etc. If you find the letters FAS followed by your name, you must call the number provided and just leave a message that you called and attend the next meeting to collect your money. Simple--however 90% of the people never respond. |
