gave reports to the board about
the Yes for Kids committee
efforts to pass the upcoming

Huwe said she is working to
inform ■ the public about the
difference, , between
capital
expenditures and the regular
budget. She said she was also

entire $22 million levy will be
used to construct a high school in
Imgon. Huwe said she is going
door to door in Imgon urging
voters to vote yes on the bond.
She said her committee is also
making phone calls and handing
out flyers.
Thanks.
And
even
bigger
thanks.
