Old Business:
Last month was the outdoor movie and touch a truck event. It was very well attended and they had a great variety of trucks! This Friday is the last movie night of the season. Overall this year has had a lot of community support from various organizations and businesses.
Miss Tuscola pageant was held on August 6 at the Community Building. They had a very large audience turnout and brought in $1600 at the gate, which will be a great boost for their scholarship contribution.
New Business:
Anna informed the board there will be a reprint of the historic walking tour booklet. The museum reached out a couple weeks ago asking for a reprint as they are planning historic walking tours downtown during homecoming week. Anna said she excited for the event as the booklet was released during 2020 and didn't get the launch it deserved. They have ordered 500 books and they will be donated to the museum to sell.
Anna presented the grant request for Becky's Buddies. They are asking for $4,000 for a portable ice rink for Christmastown. Anna said they plan to offer skating for free and use concessions as a fundraiser. Devon made a motion to approve and Randy seconded. All in favor motion passed.
Drew motioned to adjourn the meeting and Devon seconded. All were in favor, motion passed.
