The District has committed to provide a grant to cover the setup fee ($199.00). Also note that the domain name registration is good for three years.
We have an opportunity to sell advertising on our website to help recover some of our annual cost. We can discuss this at a future meeting.
Matching Grant Submission:
Following the meeting, Bret Schroder, Jim Fahrnbruch, Tom Parker, and John Lothrop worked on the grant application to build picnic tables for Rotary Park and the Youth Cabin. Jim submitted the application.
