The committee applied for a Monroe County Iowa Community Foundation grant and will receive $3000 to be used for building maintenance. The roof has already been repaired. Now the painting will be done including the large room and the hallway.
A new sign for the front of the building is hoped to be in place by the all school reunion on June 9th, Sunday. They hope to include a lion’s head and the purple and gold colors to reflect the schools mascot and colors.
The committee members plan to have the Comm. building unlocked for memorial day weekend so visitors to the cemeteries can come use the restroom and have a cup of coffee.
Once painting is done, new gutters will be purchased and placed on the building.
A defibrillator was given by the city to the Community building to use if a visitor needed resuscitated. This is greatly appreciated.
Judy Johnson will be asked to talk withthe insurance company to review more than one companys prices and coverage and report back to the group. The committee wants to be sure the building is adequately insured in case of serious damage. The premium for one year currently is $769 dollars.
The committee was asked to serve a meal for the all school reunion on June 9th and agreed to do so. Goldie Kraber is chairman. Menu will be pulled pork or beef burger, potato salad, cookies and beverage (coffee, iced tea, or water). A price of $5 per meal will be charged. Meal will be served from noon to 1:30 p.m. Approximately 225 guests are expected at the reunion.
Everyone is looking forward to seeing old friends and classmates.

April 17th Lightning damaged the Landfill electronics at HWY T-17. The scales, computers, etc. and they will be working hard today to get things all in working order. We have had well over 5 inches of rain in around 24 hours and creeks are over Hwy 5 north of Hamilton and Twin Cedars school was closed and I understand Chariton’s too.
