Not to mention the cold. Here is a little reading for you as you hibernate
inside. O.K. Maybe not the most exciting reading you have ever done, but it will
kill a couple of minutes. Happy reading! As usual, the minutes are being sent as

face=Arial>Further consideration was given to the idea of having a 5k run as a
fund raiser. Tim researched and reported to us that it would cost about
$1,000.00 to put on such an activity. He advised about various trails that we
could use. Financially, it will be necessary to partner with at least one more
organization. He advised that the most that you can expect from the first year
that you host a 5k is to cover costs. It is not until the second or third year
that one can expect to turn a profit. The time required for planning is six to
nine months. Some discussion followed concerning the best time of the year to
have such an event. Rob is going to talk with the co-directors at Independence,
Inc. to determine their receptiveness toward collaboration. Tim will do further
research of the logistics. Brendy will check out the possibility of a consult
with Bert Nash. </FONT></P>
