Personnel: Mo informed us that on Apr. 24 there will be a raffle basket in memory of Michael at a fundraiser held at Exit 18 McDonald’s.  For each pair of eclipse glasses turned in a book will be donated to the library in his memory. 

Strategic Plan:

Solar component: Apex Solar is not willing to set up a solar component to the WIFI shelter as it is too small a job.  Franklin will check with New Leaf Solar and Mo will check with Speed Control Radar Signs to see if they will do the job.
