Do we want to start planting the containers at the Fairgrounds again? Lisa and Audrey will speak to the 4H groups to see if they would water the plants if we put them in. More discussion at the next meeting.

We need to clean up at the Welcome to Grantsburg sign. Please show up the sign on October 26th at 5:30 pm.

We will need to discuss Holiday in the Park at the November meeting. Set up is usually around Thanksgiving weekend. Any volunteers to help with it?

We had a wonderful booth at the Grantoberfest. It was a huge success. The booth was decorated beautifully. We had many visitors who stopped by. We drew names for prizes every one half hour. We should discuss if we want to make this an annual event for the club. If so, we need to form a planning committee for the next Grantoberfest.

We will be holding our elections at the November meeting. Wanda has agreed to be the VP. Pam has agreed to be President again only if she can have a co-president. We also have openings for treasurer and secretary.

We will be having a wreath making class at our November meeting. Rosemary will do the presentation. The club will furnish the frame for the wreath. Rosemary passed out hand outs at the meeting tonight which shows what you need to bring with to make your wreath. More info to come from Pam. Alma and Cynthia are signed up for refreshments.

Our Christmas party will be held at the home of Mary and Jim Charmoli. We always do a potluck dinner and we have a great time. Please sign up for the potluck at the November meeting.
