He told the board that they would have more fund raising events coming up throughout the year.

Mrs. Coleman told the board that during the "Street Sweep" we raised $1500.86. Even though the weather was terrible and we only stayed out for 1 hour and 10 minutes, we did good! Mrs. Coleman also told the board to be thinking about being in the Zachary Christmas Parade. She thought that the school board members should walk with a banner and wear shirts that had Zachary Community School Board printed on-them.

Mr. Moore thanked Mrs. Coleman for all of the hard work that she put into the "Street Sweep" and that he was doing a Spaghetti Dinner on November 8, 2001. He said that the dinner would sell for $5.00 a plate and that it would be taken place from 11 till 1 at the Zachary Police Complex.

Dr. Leggett told the board that the November 15 Community Meeting would be at 7:00 P.M. at Zachary High School. He wanted Judge Lonny Myles to speak and answer questions from the people of the community. He said that they would have it advertise in the Plainsman and in the Morning Advocate. Dr. Leggett said that he would talk more about it at next board meeting.

Next board meeting the board wanted to have on the agenda about the November 15 Community Meeting. Also Mr. Moore will talked about his Spaghetti Dinner Fund Raiser and Danny Davis will give us a Budget Report.
