There was sufficient interest in winter programs to warrant a special meeting next Wednesday evening, at the Fritzsche office building, 440 Wegner road. Twelve people stated they would be available with ideas and time, and others are in­ vited to participate. "Insurance is still the main deterrent to the dredging operation," reported Bruno Karas. George Garbacz and Holly Swanson will check with their insurance persons, about the availability of coverage to be used for each phase of the operation, instead of the complete dredging project. Perhaps this will open the way to an earlier target date than May 1979, suggested at the last board meeting. Paul Starzyk was voted in as a member of the board. A membership chairman is still needed to set up records and plan a membership drive. For information regarding memberships or donations to the "Save Lily Lake" cam­ paign, call 385-4934.
