Present: Toni Seroshek, Gail Anderson, Zonja Matushenko, Mayor Jessica Stockamp
Meeting was called to order at 7:15pm. No changes were made to the agenda. Minutes of the last
meeting were approved.
Notification of our Choosing Native American theme for 2016 focus:
Gail states she contacted Dan Licht re: our chosen theme of Native American history in the Otsego area
for this year and he has responded that he will put notice in the Otsego View that we are looking for
persons who may be interested in joining us on that study and/or suggesting references. We agree that
Zonja will review the study Otsego Historic Context, Gail will visit the Wright County History Center and
Toni will visit the Sherburne History Center before next meeting to gather history of the early Native
American people of the Otsego area.
We discussed the scope and scale of what we want on the history of Native Americans in the area. Our
goal is to have a banner timeline if information suffices. The title might be: Native Americans in early
Otsego area. We want to include Native American battles on the Mississippi and other and burial
mounds.
Book Revisions/rebinding:
Jessica contacted Lisa Fahey who states that she will get the second set of revisions to Gail this week for
the book The Farm Years.
