No representative for Shinmachi was present for a status report. 4. Martha was not present to report on the treasury status or how she is doing on developing a receipt system, such as for donations. 5. Costa Rica: The Middle School Exchange went very well. Holly Young and Fran Larson are planning to take a group of studenCs to Costa Rica this summer, probably the Roseville host €amilies, most likely in July. Tom is having meetings with Holly and Fran on this. They have started looking at group airfare rates. . Tom has had a meeting with Tony Anderson, Dan Wall, and Bob Burmeister. Dan Wall and Bob Burmeister are planning to go to Costa Rica in 1998. Tony Anderson plans to do his every -4-years group trip in 1998. Other issues: Mayor Wall wants Roseville City Council to declare Cartago and Shinmachi Days. Rosedale Shopping cenCer may be receptive to joining in on the activety. A suggestion was made that the future arboratum be dedicated to Shinmachi. In 19999, Rosev�lle High Schoal is hosting the Student Council Convention for the US. This may an opportunity to invite Sister City representives. Perhaps we could get the former Costa Rica �president and Nvble Prize winner for a speaker, combined with a U of M activity. Steve North expects bids to go out for a display case as City Hall. 5t. Paul Rotary has medical supplies stored. The Ratary International Con- vention is June, 1998. Suggestion was made to invite Cartago Rotary to ex- tend their trip to Roseville. The Iibrary also has surplus books that have been donaCed. With English being pushed at the CR school, they may be abie to use them. 6. The Committee would like to Chank Mardy Olseen for her assistance with mailing. 7. RoseFest Parade will be here soon.
