• The Business Directory is almost complete and ready for printing. I am working with the <br /> NB/MV Chamber of Commerce to see if we can get funds to help pay for the printing. I <br /> will be applying for charitable gaming funds and should know by the end of May. <br /> ♦ I talked to Cliff Harid who is the Realtor for the land lots next to the Blue House.

Steve has <br /> volunteered to work extra hours assisting the group with City equipment and supervision. <br /> • Seeding, fertilizing and turf vaccing are activities being performed in the parks as the <br /> weather allows. <br /> • Mary is honeymooning in the Caribbean this week and we certainly miss him.
