The Unadilla Area Fund met Tuesday morning, October 8,

in the Library. The All-Fund Drive was reviewed from last year

and corrections made to this year's letter. We hope to mail them

out the first of November. Greta Leach, Nebraska Community

Foundation, came to the meeting to introduce herself, and urged

us to attend the meeting in November at the Lied Center in

Nebraska City. The Groundhog Day Celebration wasl also discussed

(it's never too early to talk about groundhogs!).
