- The dune model (which we provided funds to

- Leelanau Scenic Heritage Trail way Project: Kerry
described the concept, issues, and process.
- He noted that a role that FSBD could play would
involve helping procure funds planning, building, and maintenance.
- Park Website:
- Kerry reviewed the content contained. Much material
is being added, with Kerry's help.
- The website is being redesigned to better match
those of other NPS units.
- NMC class: We were asked to help with the Summer Life
& Learning Program, as the Park Interp staff is fully committed during the
time it occurs. Plans are being developed.
- FSBD Newsletter:
- Molly thanked Kerry, Jack Schultz, and Alice Van
Zoeren for their articles in the last issue. More articles are always
welcome.
- Adopt-a-trail:

and its reporting procedures.

tours on their trails. He will contact Lisa Myers on this.

recently.

- Port Oneida Fair Posters: We will have a silent
auction at the Fair for a complete set of framed posters. Proceeds will
benefit the Fair Committee. John & Molly organized this.
- The Gazette: It will be published by the Enterprise.
They will also handle the advertising. We received a good deal on this, and
thanks are in order.
- Molly is recruiting volunteers to staff the Friends'
booth at the Fair.
- New Business:
- The lumber wagon, which we recently procured for the
Park: This is a good example of the valuable role that the FSBD can play,
acting quickly to make a purchase that could not be made through normal
government channels.
- Jack presented Roland Drayson and Jerry Powley as
nominees to serve on the Board. Both were elected.
- Molly and Dick are going off the Board due to “term
limits.” Appreciation was expressed for the great efforts of both!
