HEADS UP!!! NEXT MEETING: SEPTEMBER 6TH @ 6:30 AT THE LIBRARY
We had five new folks join us for out meeting: three from Partridge Woods, and one each from Homestead and Terry Brook Estates. Thanks and we look forward to seeing you again.
TE FUNDING
We were disappointed to learn that we did not receive funding in the TE cycle. While the feedback from MACOG indicated the proposal was well done, monies were awarded this cycle based upon historical significance and economic development that the project would bring to the community. Path member Gary Babcoke felt that we should continue forward with the project and indicated that the project that was developed in lake County took some time to get off the ground. Path members voted to continue and pointed out several historical areas and areas that could be linked to economic development. While we didn't receive funding this time, TE funding has been approved by the federal government for the next year!! Thanks to all of you who took the time to call or write our elected officials. Don't forget that Indiana has long been a state that contributed more than it has been awarded (or applied for)!!! Janine A. has offered to assist with writing the new proposal which will be available to us October 1st of this year. We'd also like to thank Karen Macoviak at MACOG for all her assistance with the last proposal and look forward to working with Cory Hull in the future.

As of now, we are still waiting to hear which day the BSU students will be here. It has been narrowed down to two days, the 29th or the 31st of August. Professor Cruz has promised to have a fim commitment by the end of the next week. Thanks to Jennifer Velasco and Dale DeVon for offering room and board for the group. We will need individuals who will be able to show the group around; if you are interested, please cal l Barbara at 243-1747 or email at bblackfred@hotmail.com or if you would like to provide food for a group dinner or any other ideas you might have to make their stay more welcoming.
