HIGHLIGHTS:

*The copier will be picked up by the vender "BGS" sometime soon.

*Suzie and I spent several hours sorting papers from Randy's office. We now have 3 big containers to shred and two to go through to sort for archives. Daphne Pringle is a volunteer on Mondays and will help us with this. She was on the steering committee after the flood, so is knowledgeable about this area.

*Meredith stripped, waxed and buffed the linoleum floors. She was able to borrow the buffer from the school which saved us money.

*Randy and I were interviewed about the flood of '98 by three groups of high school students on Thursday, October 7th. It was a nice experience. The videos the students created will be posted on You Tube.

ACTION ITEMS:

*New printer/copier needs to be set up.
