The Collaborative Effort
The effort seems to be progressing. The next meeting will be 13 November 2001.
Deer Fest
Flyers for the Deer Fest have been prepared. A discussion of bumper stickers was conducted. It appeared that the cost for bumper stickers was too high. It was finally decided that electrostatic window stickers would be prepared and offered for sale to the members. Linda Maurer of Hillside Marina will have a space at the Deer Fest and she has offered to have the TBBSA occupy the space with her.
A motion was made seconded and passed to have 1000 electrostatic window stickers prepared at a cost of approximately $550. The size will be 4 inches by 11 inches. It is anticipated that it will take about 1 month to procure the stickers.
The graphs of the lake performance were presented. They will be available at the deer fest booth.
A nomination committee was appointed for the 2002 elections. The committee consisted of Charles English and Janna Lehman.
