Jeremy brought forward a request for supporting the newly formed Trap Club in the Prairie Farm School District.  This will be brought to the board for discussion. Sounds like a good way to support another community in the county.
 
I was contacted by Kathy Wellsandt, a member of the noon club, with an idea on trying to help some of the businesses in the downtown area of Rice Lake.  With the construction going on the business flow is very low.  One business shared that they had a total sales of $10 on one day.  Her idea was to do a social kind of like flash mob to hit some of the stores...maybe purchase gift certificates or start your holiday shopping early....anything to help them out a bit and then follow with a social gathering with the noon club at one of the downtown establishments.  Something to consider - voluntary participation.  More to come as I hear their feedback. 
 
If I get information from our new District Governor I will be happy to pass it on!
