Minutes for meeting held November 8th at the Fin and Feather Supper Club. There were 14 members in attendance.

Information and Tourism: Andrea reported that the new sign is finished. Liv did a very nice job with it. The cost of the sign to display at the end of Division Road will be $75 a year. No ribbon cutting are planned at this time. The Kettle Moraine Booklets will be a future project. Andrea is teaming up with the Kewaskum Chamber and is asking for our help as well.

It was reported that a new business has arrived in Campbellsport. It is called Creative Image and Sound. It is located in the building that Att. Gus Christ had his offices in. Also Reflections will be moving to the Candee building.The Ironsides property has been sold to Mike Wisnefske. The building is being repaired and remodeled and hopefully will be open by January. He will be employing approximately 10-15 people.

The newspaper ads for both the Campbellsport News and the Action Advertiser are in the final stages of development. The ad in the Campbellsport News will be called Chamber Chatter. This should be starting in January. With this the business would pay part of the ad and the Chamber would pay the rest. With the Action Ad the premise would be the same with the business and Chamber both paying for part of the ad. For more information call the News office, Joel Fleishman, or Kim Bilgo.

Promotions and Events: The Caper was down this year mainly due to the weather. There has already been much discussion as to changing some things for next year. The committee will meet on this and give a full wrap-up report at a later date.

The Christmas Walk has almost everything in place. Joel would like to get as much information on the Web site as soon as possible. If anyone would like to volunteer for this event please call Julie Roth, Lynn Serwe, or Lois Zingsheim. Also there will be an itinerary with a map and all of the Chamber members names on it that will be given out at the Walk. We also will be selling Chamber Bucks at a discounted price the day of the event. Flyer's will be in the paper the week of Thanksgiving.

Treasurer's Report; All is well Julie reported. She asked how the funds for the Caper will be split and if some of the earmarked funds should be changed.

We have several new members joining our Chamber. Most of them will be coming into the group in January.

Lois's Report; There is lots of action with emails and by phone. Welcome Baskets are still going out regularly.

Old and New Business; Scott reported that the Kiosk will be a new project. He is looking for this to be a spring project. He also mentioned that the trail is being used for other activities as well as biking and walking. This project definitely is an asset to our community.

Judy will need help removing the decorations and plants from the planters. If anyone would like to volunteer please contact Judy Holzman.

Scott reported that the Campbellsport Inn will be open for lunch on Wednesday and Thursday during the month of December. For all of their hours please contact Scott at the Campbellsport Inn or check out their web site.

Judy asked if we had any economic numbers from The Extreme Makeover. Brenda stated that they do not but there may be a way to track some of it. It may be impossible to track all of it because there were so many different businesses and donations involved. It was agreed that the Makeover definitely impacted the community in many shapes and forms, especially tourism.
