I will finalize things with the library this week to place the bench at
the genealogical building. There is talk of creating a garden there as
well and moving two wooden sculptures from down on Front St. Once the
intentions are confirmed I will let you know the possible outcomes. I
just don't want to do the work to protect the bench if anyone is going
to come behind me and make decisions that under mind what we're doing.
While I would like to save the bench I am not eager to be in a group
discussion or seek permission beyond keeping you posted on where we are
in the discussion with the library. Annie Warmke
