The monthly meeting for May was well attended despite Cary's unsuccessful attempt at getting anyone from the Belle Plaine school board to be a guest speaker.
Sandy from the Scott county DFL joined the meeting and shared information on upcoming events for the DFL. As a group, the Belle Plaine DFL people chose July 28th for the day to try and cover the DFL booth for the Scott county fair. The shifts need a minimum of two people and last 3 hours. Previous years the building has been hotter than the hubs of hell so it is a truly generous donation of ones time for those willing to commit.
Also the Scott county fund raiser is a golf/dinner event on Aug. 5, a Sunday.
Belle Plaine BBQ days was also discussed and is in July but political groups are not allowed in the parade, only before and after and in the bicycle ride. Tim Lies mentioned this year the bike ride should be much improved due to roads opening that were previously under construction. Anyone interested contact the Farmer Lies family for further details, I believe he said it begins at 8 am so people are in town in time for the parade.
After the meeting 4 foolish DFLers and David Bly set out and removed the trash from the ditches for our adopt a highway section. I also found 3 wood ticks that hitched a ride on my being but otherwise the weather was beautiful and other finds were uneventful.
Until next time- Gert

I guess you've said it all. Demonstrations against the war are being planned at the new bridge overpass one evening a week once the bridge is open. For more information, contact Joanne Gill.
