Central Announcements and Updates Carol said that the Torch Run went well, although it ran 1 hour late. A good turn out was seen along the route. Word has it that Jeff Johnson did a great impersonation of Jim Scheibel. Carol passed photos of the run and of the demolition of the "torched" park building and great photos of the new building. The June 14 Fire Saftey program went very well with 35 people attending. Terry Iverson did a great job. 2. Park Building Update . The park building is on time or early and due to be done on July 20. The concrete skirtings are in, paths will go in next. The amenities have been ordered as follows: picnic tables, park benches, trash receptacles, grills and drinking fountain. All should be here in time for the ice cream social except the park benches. Tim Heil is still interested in volunteering his expertise to stain the exterior of the building. Carol will discretely check him out. Jaycees are interested in a service donation, especially in helping put things together, etc. They have some money, maybe for a sign and will let us know. Sam indicated that the Falcon Heights/Lauderdale Lions Club was also interested in a service donation (putting things together, etc) and would donate $1,000 for a sign providing that the group got recognition for their donation. Everyone agreed in principle with the need for some sort of visual recognition, the details of which would be worked out. We are still waiting to hear from the other groups. 3. Garment Sale Carol indicated that a possible fundraiser could be the sale of t-shirts and sweatshirts that are mistakes and overstock from the company she got the shirts from this • summer, Garment Graphics. The shirts this year were a great price and Carol had them in 1 1/2 weeks. We all agreed that it was worth pursuing. Carol H. indicated that if we were to do well it needs to be held in August for the before school market. Carol K. will follow up.
