Activity report/update

Bible Study-Dan Smith-We’ve been meeting at the Carport, averaging 18-20 people. He appreciates the use of the sound system. It has been very helpful. We plan to meet in the Rec Hall this Thursday. Since last Easter, he has been doing a Sunday church service at 10 a.m. by the waterfront because some people didn’t feel comfortable going to Church during the pandemic. He will continue to do that until this Easter.
Bayfront Flowers-Tom Colson-He has people who are watering the geraniums along Bayview until May 1st. He plans to take them down May 2nd. There are 8 pots that need to be replanted with new dirt, fertilizer, etc. at a cost of $40-50 each. This would be the first year we have replanted them for a long time. A motion to spend up to $400 to replant the pots at the Hall, RV Park, and office was made by Brenda O. and seconded by Sue C. The motion passed with a unanimous voice vote.
Historical Committee-Brenda Ocenasek-She is still asking for pictures of all activities from this year or any past years. She’s able to accept digital ones.
