The newsletter went out this week.
Election committee needs to meet so we can get the fourth precinct together.
We now have two computer stations set up for the front window.
DPW got Main, Richman, Allen, Smiths Creek, Pickford and the Airport all vacuumed out for the winter.
B & T came out to give us a bid for the lights in the parking lot. There are five lights out there. There is no flag up because that is one of the lights that is out.

I have to wait until December 27th to finish talking to Sourcewell that we are probably going to get the generator from.
