Roseville Sister City Association <br />Min�tes <br />Apri1 1, 2003 <br />Present: Joyce and Jim Boardson, Jan Schultz, Tom and Virginia Turba <br />Minutes: Previous minutes approved, although there was some confusion over the <br />correct date/time for ton�ght! <br />1. Treasurer's report: not available <br />2. Shinmachi: The group still has not had applicants from Roseville to go to <br />Shinmachi. A group is still. expected to come here consisting of 10 srudents <br />and 2 adults. Host families are still needed here. Mary has been in contact <br />with Shinmachi. Shinmachi said they wauld understand if we did not have <br />students to go over. <br />3. Costa Rica: There has been no contact between local colleges and Cartago. <br />Local colleges had hoped to expand activities, but are now in budget-cutting <br />activities instead. There have been no requests from college students to come <br />for a month, as has happened in the past, at this time. <br />Thanks to the efforts of Mary Meyer, we have secured a Singer sewing machine to <br />send to Costa Rica. Joyce took 2 to Round Babbin for inspection and received <br />a recommendation on one. Round Bobbin was very he�pful with providing extra <br />cams and instruction book. Tom will contact Lupita to see how we can get it <br />safely to Cartago. We are still looking for a laptop computer. <br />4. New Business: The 5horeview group meets on the same Tuesday. Tom has discussed <br />with them about having a joint meeting/activity and learn what type of activities <br />they do, etc. We may get together for a picnic activity in July. One represen- <br />tative may come to our meeting next month. <br />5. Futiure activites: The parade wil_1 soon be upon us. Jan has the candy from <br />last years rain-out. She will check if it is srill okay. soyce is contacting <br />a new scout group for this year. She does not know yet if they will participate. <br />So, if. you know anyone that would li.ke to being the parade to hand out candy, <br />please keep them in mind.
