Summary of 6/29/2009 Meeting
There is, indeed, a big interest in getting this program going. Coopersville Observer has offered to help our program, as well! Also, an offer has come through to help with funding our program (signage, for example). So, thank you to all who have offered to help in some way. As we are all new to this, we are trying to get it figured out, too, so we appreciate all of your patience with us, and welcome input if anyone has any guidance to offer.
