small center for timing officials, etc. Steve thought the warming house from Orchard
Lake would be O.K. for this; (3) a plan to develop a leaflet brochure of the 28 or 29
Lakeville parks complete dosier of each. It was thought part of the $1,200 amount
that had been in the budget for a live -in administrator at Antlers Park could be used

Aronson Park to make better access to the diamonds, especially Field #2; (11) Game
