2. David Wegsheid gave an update presentation of the 2 mural projects. The Les Kouba train station
project has the private party funding and there is interest to make it a featured site for the farmer's
Market area. Looking into boxcar, rails moving and set up options. Working on getting City and McLeod
Rail Authority approval. The Vets Memorial project is moving along also. Vet's Memorial Park Board
very in favor of wall panels on Shopko wall. Would be willing to help with fundraising also. Contacted
Shopko, sounds favorable but do not have official approval yet. 3 feet of the ground approx. 24x24 ft on
removable panels. Steve suggested 3 steps to complete before next update. Confirm Shopko
approval, Confirm Budget and have a drawing to scale to preview.

Nationwide fast growing program. Looking at starting a program here, a natural fit with our Nationally
recognized quilters and quilt shop. Requesting Placards similar to Les Kouba signs at the edge of town
to recognize Lynette Johnson for her quilts. Outlined some possible program classes to start making
quilt paintings here. Possibilities of fundraiser campaign.

2 pieces in place and he will be posting as the rest are put into place. Presented need for
invoices for receipt of prize money for financial records. Presented new mockup for brochure. It will not have
