Old business:

            July 21, 2007 has been set as the day we will celebrate ten years of clean-ups, stewardship and community outreach.  The City of Anderson will co-sponsor the event.  The event will be held in conjunction with the cruise-in to be held downtown.  The star attraction will be the White River.  We need to think about a catch phrase.  Many suggestions were made including Go-Fish and Geo-cashing.  The time suggested was from 10AM – 4PM.

            Trevor will handle the marketing as a part of a class project at Anderson University.

            It was suggested that we should offer canoe rides for a fee.  John will call Canoe Country to see if they are interested in running this portion of the festival.

            Crist will invite the band Common Ground to play at our celebration.

            Sheryl will price tents.

            Our next meeting will be on April 23, 2007 instead of April 16, 2007 due to maintenance being done on the meeting room. 

New business:

            The City of Anderson will celebrate Arbor Day on April 28, 2007 beginning at 10AM. 

            We should have a flier to hand out announcing out plans for the celebration.
