Old Business
The Friends of Rush River met on Wednesday, March 26th, 2008.
The 2009 Fundraiser dance will be held March 7, 2009. Doug Traxler will supply the band. We sold 632 advance tickets this year, and 433 at the door.
Tony Savage will have a wagon in the Henderson Sauerkraut Days parade for FORR. We will donate the money for candy to be thrown. The parade is June 29th.
We are checking into the cost of speed limit signs for the park. They will say ‘Children at Play’, ’10 MPH’.
The Spring Clean up will be held April 26th at the park. We will supply food for workers if Thrivent is not donating. We will be picking up garbage, building picnic tables, and fixing the money box on Knob Hill and any other work needed.
There was debate on building a shelter at the park. The county will supply up to $11,790 for new construction of a building. A committee will provide the location, size and requirements for this shelter at the April meeting. The FORR will then vote on whether the building should be built. Pros and cons provided for the construction include:
Pros
Nice place to have picnics, parties
Will supply shelter from sun or rain
Will attract more people to the park
If the county supplies the funds, it will not deplete funds for park maintenance
