Louis Cook LT Chamber of Commerce meets ..... Card of thanks The regular monthly meeting of tile Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce was held at Pioneer Place on Oct. 15, 2001. President Kris Gillham called the meeting to order at 6:48 P.M. with the follow- ing members present: Paul Hain, Grynneth Parizek, Bob Petsel, Russ Forbes, Ron Rife, Delores Rife, Jim Stock, Clarence Tharp, Marvin Klebe, Wilbur Huff, Lester Bell, Gerry Burr and Judy Hills. Moved by Huff and seconded by Tharp to approve the minutes of the 9-24-01 meeting. Motion carried. Moved by Forbes and second- ed by Klebe to approve the 9-8-01 to October 12, 2001 Treasurer's Report. Motion carried. Gillham discussed the 2001 Motodoway. Everyone enjoyed having this event go through Lone Tree. We felt that the support of the Lone Tree residents couldn't have been better. Rife commented that he had talked with Dr.Mills after the event and Dr.Mills had several members of MotorIoway comment that Lone Tree was their best "pitstop." Grynneth com- mented that the Lone Tree Historical Society was very pleased with the number of shirts that were sold and the sales after the event also took place through phone calls. Everyone felt that the boy scouts did a good job with the selling of their doughnuts and popcorn. Moved by Petsel and seconded by Rife for the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce to pur- chase a $25.00 gift certificate from LT's Fine Grocery for one of the Holiday Drawings and to continue giving away 5 turkeys and 2 gift certificates during the months of November and December. Ed. Eden, owner of LT's GrOcery has ) donated the other $25:00 Gift  Certificate. Moved by Forbes and second- ed by Tharp to have the Santa Claus at the School changed to doing treat sacks for the children at the Little Engine Preschool and not to have Santa Claus present. Grynneth made this suggestion as it was difficult to plan on how many treat bags to prepare and last year we ended up having to take a majority of them to the preschool because of the attendance at the actual event. Moved by Huff and seconded by Klebe to take $5,000.00 from the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce' savings account and purchase a three month certificate of deposit. When our certificate of deposit #108577 comes due on November 24,2001 we will renew that one for $5,000.00 for another six months and take the interest at that time and deposit it to our sav- ings account. We will then end up with $10,000.00 in certificates of deposits. A reminder went out to all members of the Chamber that their annual dues need to be paid in the amount of $10.00 per person. Paul Hain invited the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce out to Syngenta for our November monthly meeting. Syngenta will have a meal catered in for the Chamber and after the meal, the Chamber will receive a tour of the plant. Everyone was very open to this idea and was very grateful to Paul Hain and Syngenta for the offer. Moved by Huff and seconded by Klebe to adjourn. Motion car- ried. We would like to thank the wonderful Lone Tree First Responders for their fast response to my medical problem Nov. 7. My five-day stay makes me really appreciate good nurses' and doctors' help. I also want to thank Rev. Rouse's visit and my friends who visited and the get well cards. Ruth Forbes Card of thanks A big Thank You to our family and all our friends for the many cards, calls, food, flowers and prayers while I was in the hospital and since returning home. God bless you.
