information on the status of the Christmas Calendar and will get a
preliminary copy to Diana to run by the Retail Trade group. Pat
spoke with the Jaycee’s and Cheryl Flaa regarding the Christmas
movies and that is in the process. Diana informed the Board that
SVCC agreed to contribute $200 towards the cost of the movies –
which will be greatly appreciated. Al has been in contact with
Otter Tail regarding the lighting contest and should have more
information at the next meeting. Diana will contact Eldeen
regarding the Santa House and find out who to contact when it comes
time to decorate/etc. It was determined to send out postcards to
all businesses for any additional items for our Christmas Calendar.
