Joan reported the spring roadside cleanup went fairly well but we will need to work on volunteers for the area between Gilbert Street and 16 Mile for the next cleanup.  She will talk to the village council and see if there are any volunteers.

 

The two bicycle camping sites in the Memorial Park are on hold until the outhouse is finished and property lines established.  Julie will notify bicycle connections when the campsites are ready for use and rules set in place.

 

The food drop off on the 4th Saturday of each month is up and running.  We have been receiving donations.  There was a problem with the date in the Cadillac News, Betty will contact them.

 

The LeRoy Library has been displaying information regarding LQL projects.

 

The recycle bags made by Phyllis Booth have brought in $50.00 through donations.  A percentage was given to the Farmers’ Market.  Julie will write a thank you to Phyllis for her work making the bags.

 

Julie passed out the updated recycle brochures.  She has been distributing them around the community.  Betty will take some for the library.

 

Julie will make a list of possible informational movies that could be shown this winter.  She will also work on an article of upcoming winter events for the LeRoy newsletter and posting in the community.

 

Discussion was held regarding the possibility of a Health Fair in LeRoy this winter.  Members will gather information prior to the next meeting.

 

Next meeting will be October 20, 2008 at 4:00 p.m. in the Village Hall.
