order update and where books have been placed on area stores, etc. Margaret
Bossow is taking care of this. Margaret was not present. Lu Peet will contact
Margaret to see how things are going and if she has the contracts, etc.
2.
Potential
BAHA float for the 4th of July Parade-Carol Pease said that Dave
Pease has an Uncle Sam costume and that his beard is coming along OK. There was
discussion on getting a big hand like the ones at the ball games to show Dave
pointing at parade goers saying “BAHA needs you! Sign up today!” We will need
bunting and other decorations. George Martin has indicated that he has some of
these materials. Carol Pease said she got some little flags for $6.00 for 6
dozen to hand out along the parade route instead of candy. We could also hand
out membership and literature, too. The BAHA banner will go on the float. There
was discussion on having one central person to coordinate the parade details.
Carol Pease suggested Jan Waddell. Lu Peet will contact Jan to see if she would
do this. The Emerich’s will be here for the 4th and will help out.
Dave Emerich said he can make a poster or other sign for each side of the
float. We will also need a driver and vehicle to tow the float trailer. Both George Martin and Quentin Ruprecht have
trucks and trailers. We will get all information before the June 18th meeting.
We could also say “your donations are accepted”. Jon Harkness brought up the
idea of having a stand or table to hand out membership forms and brochures at
the fireworks. Lu Peet will check with

material for preserving photos, papers, etc.-Margaret Bossow has access to

article on Post Mistress Beatrice Howard and also one about Sylvia Ellison.

Donations
to the Barnes Ambulance defibrillator costs-was check sent out?-Quentin
Ruprecht said that the check had not yet been sent out. He will do this right
away.
6.
Added
agenda item-Sign for the new land-How is it coming along? - We should get new
material for the sign and not use the old Silver Beach Resort sign. It could be
a 4’ x 8’ board and could be fastened with 2” x4” boards. Carol Pease said we
should authorize the board to have the sign done before the 4th of
July. Motion (Carol Pease/ Lu Peet) to get the sign done so it will be up
by the 4th of July. Call for discussion. The cost limit
should be $500.00. Carol said that Cable Lumber might help us out with the
supplies. It was agreed to add the $500.00 to the motion. Motion carried as amended with
the $500.00 limit. Jon Harkness will contact Cable Lumber.
New
Business:
1.
Work
day for Flea Markets –Carol Pease said that we have a lot of puzzles for the
flea markets. They are good sellers. We have to call on our members to see who
will help out. We need to set a work day to mark the items that we already
have. July 10th is the date
for the Flea Market and Pie and Ice Cream Social. It will be held at the VFW
grounds and hall this year instead of the town hall. It is much more convenient
for the kitchen. Lu Peet will have the posters ready for the June 18th
meeting. We will meet after the meeting on June 18th to mark.
2.
We
have to set a work day for the new property also so we can put the sign up.
This area has to be out of the right-of-way and in the legal location. Jon
Harkness, Quentin Ruprecht and Dave Pease will work on brushing the first week
in June. They will meet Thursday, June 4th.

The
Emerich’s asked if there was someone who would accept donations to the BAHA for
the Silent Auction. Lu said she keeps most of the items at her house and that
Nila could bring it to her.
4.
Tessmer
Construction and Tour of Town of Highland Town Hall-Jon Harkness said we should
think of having a storage facility as well as office space, both at the same
time. There was discussion on the septic and water issues. We have to check on
the codes for fire, etc. We will call George Kornstad of the Town of
Carol Pease said she had
some things from Emily Davis.
