A community member wanted to know if we could get a list of people for the community to know who is employed for certain occupations. Putting business cards on the bulletin boards at the administration building and the adult center were suggested and also adding individuals to the community council facebook page.
Natanya will check with Allen to use the adult center bulletin for handyman information. Individuals can also contact the HOPE center for volunteers and information.
The Fort Clark Dispatch is willing to put a column for the community about Fort Clark Days or anything that we would like to post that is relevant to the community.
