April 22, 2010
The meeting was called to order by Chair Roger Swanson. In attendance were
commission members Roger Swanson, Craig Osten, Dave Delzer, and Mary Supple,
and guests Stacey Osten and Cynthy Mandl. Excused absences were reported for
Frank Sitko, Tracy Hollenback, and Molly Olson.
The March 18, 2010, minutes were approved. The treasurer reported that we have a
balance of$3,710.45 with no activity other than interest.
Craig and Stacey Osten reported on their weeklong trip to Heredia. They stayed with
Olga Solis Soto who visited Richfield on the last trip.
Discussion of a Facebook page and the inventory at the garage were postponed until
May.
Craig filled us in on the penpal project. He is in contact with a teacher in Heredia and
has been working with Molly on an application form.
Cynthy updated the group on plans for a March 3-14, 2011, trip to Heredia. The old on-
line information needs to be updated. Prices are not guaranteed until ticketing, but
seem to be running in the mid $800 range. Because of increased costs, Cynthy is
planning the same activities with fewer hotel nights. The proposed cost is $1,899 at this
time. The lapel pins from a previous trip have been located.
A motion passed to spend up to $150 framing the ceremonial parchment that was found
in storage.
We will report to the City Council on October 12. Our next meeting is May 20, 2010.
The meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Mary Supple, Secretary
