Meadview Octoberfest this Saturday
This Saturday from 9 am to 2 pm.
I have NO idea why the people of Meadview start drinking at 9 am. Seriously???
The other day I was asked whether that’s 2 AM — a little late for most people around here. But 2 pm — what can I say. No wonder Meadview is dying, people have more fun in Alzheimers nursing homes!
10/16/17 LMRFD fire board meeting — FUBAR
It seems impossible for LMRFD to produce accurate minutes.
The LMRFD fire board meeting, as usual, started with Charlotte Kiffer pointing out mistakes in the minutes and corrections that had to be made.

It was later addressed that docs are submitted to them on Friday or Monday just before the meeting and changes will be made to allow the board members to be better prepared.
Eric Terrill motioned to vote to approve the minutes AFTER the corrections had been made, next month because NOTHING is ever done RIGHT.

Charlotte Kiffer asked about year to date income, expenses and budgets.… Continue Reading
