Those present: Risley, Graham, Dorf f, Nerburn, Bergeland, Neilson,
Roen, Cohen, Graffunder, Vreeland, LaCrosse and Kristen Mann.
Bergeland introduced Kristen Mann and said she helped at the
charity ball auction. She will be placed on the mailing list.
FINANCIAL REPORT: The charitable ball auction made $7, 300 less
$1, 000 for expenses. This leaves $6, 300 to be divided between
Earle Brown Days and chamber. The Lions Club presented the
committee with a check for $1, 000 earmarked for the parade.
Nerburn questioned how the auction proceeds compare to the
Ambassador fund raising. The antique show has paid $1, 500 to Earle
Brown Days. Bergeland will know a little more at next meeting.
Cohen will check to see if Rotary will be donating money this year.
CARNIVAL: Advance tickets are here. Need posters. Hockey
association will do cleanup for $750 .
PARADE: Timberwolves coach Musselman is tentatively the grand
marshal . If this falls through, Bergeland said Mary Jane Gustafson
suggested John Visner, a native of Brooklyn Center. He got an
award for a song he wrote.

15 . They can use Lions Club float in parade. They plan to attend

banners and posters. He will assist with the boulevard directional
