An updated league/bonspiel schedule was distributed. Ice ads
should be painted in a week or so. The building inspector came
in and shut down the locker room project because we lacked a
building permit. Bob Fenson got a building permit and was charged
for lockers (cost was $500) but this means the entire project
is being considered a capital improvement by the city and will
be eligible for reimbursement. A clean-up night was scheduled
for Tuesday, October 23 at 5:00.
