ANOTHER TERRIFIC WEATHER DAY !

THE MAQUOKETA CARDINALS HAVE A TOUGH GAME TONIGHT AGAINST
RANKED MARION.....AT GOODENOW FIELD. I'LL BE JOINING SOME FELLOW ROTARIANS AND WILL BE SELLING ADMISSION TICKETS AT THE MAIN GATE.
EACH HOME GAME IS DONE BY A DIFFERENT SERVICE CLUB.

THE MAQUOKETA SCHOOL BOARD HAS APPROVED THE HIRING OF BEV BRAUER AS THE HIGH SCHOOL DANCE TEAM COACH FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR. SHE IS A TEACHER AT CARDINAL ELEMENTARY AND REPLACES LINDA POLK WHO SERVED AS COACH LAST YEAR.

SCOTT COUNTY YMCA OFFICIALS PRESENTED A BUDGET IF THEY TOOK OVER THE RUNNING OF THE NEW ARC IN MAQUOKETA, THAT IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. THE PROPOSED BUDGET WAS DISCUSSED (WITH THEIR PRESIDENT) WITH A COUNCIL FINANCE COMMITTEE LAST NIGHT.
IT PROPOSES EXPENSES OF $842,000 AND REVENUE OF $576,000 AND A DEFICIT THAT THE CITY WOULD HAVE TO PICK UP OF $266,000. NOT COUNTING FIRST YEAR "START-UP" COSTS OF ABOUT $100,000.
SOME PRETTY BIG FIGURES.

NO BIRTHS OR DEATHS.

HAVE A NICE WEEKEND.
