Old Business
The question of the coffee box came up - where is it?  It was thought to be in the community room, but a meeting was already in progress so no one could check.  Kim K will check.

The CD-Rom/library computer room is available to the public.  Members are invited to try it out.

New Business
Mae W reviewed the proposed 2002 budget.  It will be published in the February newsletter for vote and approval at the February meeting.  Proposed items include a $200 donation for a community project such as was done for Rocky Branch school, $400 library donations, and two $400 scholarships for UW-RF horticulture students.  Also $250 for Share the Bounty to include the purchase of seeds, envelopes, and printing; $500 for Heritage park tree maintenance.  It was proposed to purchase materials for 9 permanent plant sale tables (eg plywood, etc) at $180, $600 for speakers, $100 door prize expenses.  The budget includes a net profit of $1100 from the plant sale.
