MCA October Director's Meeting

The Executive met on October 25th to discuss the plans for the new term. The main goal is to move forward on the "Meadowgreen Welcomes You" sign for the corner of 22nd Street and Witney Ave. Hopefully at the November meeting a short list of potential signs will be created. As well, the Executive hopes to put up a commemorative plaque at the old W.P. Bate School site on Ottawa Ave. Bricks were saved from the demolished school and it is hoped that they will be used in this project.

The Executive will endeavor to operate the rink this winter and it is hoping to find a sponsor to help defray the costs since the City of Saskatoon's grant of $1000. does not cover the cost of running the rink.
