| Today’s speaker was Alden
Hardwick. Alden
is a member of the city of Crosslake’s planning committee
for the future Crosslake library.
Currently they are conducting research and development
for the funding of this project.
The county system that is in place right now was
established in 1962 and only allows enough funding to maintain
currently libraries and doesn’t have funds for any new
libraries. Tentative
plans are that half the funds will come from foundation grants
and the other half from fund raising efforts.
Currently there is no federal funding for libraries due
to federal budget cuts a couple of years ago.
The building will cost $425,000 and the opening book
collection will cost upwards of $225,000.
The fund raising is slated to kick off in May 2000,
construction would begin in May 2001, and the facility would
open in January 2002. |

The Gem Hunt is soon ending
and we are down six members and need 10 additional new members
to achieve our needed membership level by December 1, 1999.
This seems like an unrealistic goal, but it’s been
agreed that in tribute to Jon Haapajoki’s passing we can do
it!!! If everyone asked a person they’ve been thinking about
bringing to lunch, we’d have no problem reaching our goal. To take it even a step further, if you bring someone to lunch
between now and December 1, 1999, and if they sign up for
membership before the deadline, as their sponsor you will
receive a $25.00 gift certificate.
Brainerd
Area Sertoma will be selling raffle tickets for $20.00 each with
the opportunity to win back $40.00!
More information to follow.
Greeters -- you may be
getting a call from Rory Coit as a reminder that you are
scheduled to greet.
Have
you given Sertoma your e-mail address?
If not, send it to Pam Sachs at eglponys@brainerd.net
A
big THANKS to everyone that helped out with the demolition work
last Saturday at the new Senior Citizen’s Center on
Kingwood!!!!!
