RECEPTION OF VISITOlaS: The board welcomed Ms. Kubiak, with the Olmsted Historical Society, and the Chang family, of Butternut Ridge Road. 1V. NEW BUSINESS; Ms. Kubiak reviewed that she is trying to get the word out to the community about the project to move the Church to its new location. She's received many phone calls and letters from people and suggested things were going well. Approximately $6,000 has been raised thus far.
