Railroads. We may have as many as 5 speakers introducing points of view. Tony

assistance. If you can, please come.

Locally Grown Foods" . More

Discussion:
Considerable
discussion of the Cray House situation. Please continue to think of the
opportunities and difficulties of preserving this building for the community.
Can CV help & if so how?
Story Core: the folks
working on this project will hold separate meetings to work on it. Tim will
organize those.
There are several models of
a project such as ours. We could use a kiosk in a place such as a county fair.
A family member could interview a contributor in the home. We could also choose
essential interviews, those persons who have made significant contributions to
our community history.
Dave contacted the folks at Gustavus Adolphus who
participated in the "River Bend" project a number of years ago. We
should look at the material and see what could be incorporated in our Story
Core project. More on that when he returns from
We need to establish a
publicity group to design appropriate material for the newspaper and radio on
the regional forums and other public meetings that we are sponsoring.
If you have experience or
interest in this, please let Tony know.
Our next meeting is on WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 7:30 AM AT THE COFFEE HAG.
