Upcoming events:

Arctic Blast - Will be held on January 29, 30 and 31, 2010. Tony said National Guard inquired about bringing in an obstacle course (marathon, Rock Climb, etc.) at no cost but a location is needed and some possibilities are the high school or Minnesota West. United Way also contacted Tony about a Pancake Breakfast with Gruffalo at no cost and a location is needed.        The Connection is hosting a French Toast Breakfast on Sunday, perhaps the Gruffalo event could be held there. Per Bonnie Longtin some of the activities include the Chili cook-off at the VFW, Klondike Kate, Polar Plunge at Del Clarke, French Toast Feed at The Connection, Court Whist Tourney, and Medallion Hunt. The committee voted/ agreed to lower Finder’s Fee of the Medallion to $50. Diana questioned the budget for the events and Bonnie was going to email out to the Chamber Board an official list of activities for Arctic Blast as well as take care of the advertising. Ron Fjerkenstad will check to see if there are trophies for the cook off. 


Speaker for Website - Neil Lindchid from Clarkfield was unable to attend due to weather. Josh is changing a few settings on the site. 


New Meeting Location: It was discussed to change but since the Board has been reassembled, the group decided to keep the meeting time and location the same and re-evaulate it in 6 months.
