will get more information for the April meeting.
The Mayor informed the council the cemetery had been hit hard with limbs
down from the storm. Perhaps the FFA or 4-H member will help get the
limbs to the road to make it easier to use the chipper. The Ruritans
have also been helpful in the cemetery, maybe they can work together.
