The Christmas bazaar the seniors put on is December 5th and 6th at the senior center.
Bill and Rebecca give a recycle report. We conclude after discussion that Jan will be the next best time to try to have one at the civic center. We need door prizes, and need to talk to the Ice Classic. The CVLI license the permit needed to show public movies in arriving soon. Maybe combine free cycle with movies.
