2019 Larsmont Community Club Annual Meeting


Old Business:
Bill T. shared information about the chimney work. It did not get completed last year as expected. We asked for an estimate from a different chimney expert. Work will get completed this year, will be done as close to historical accuracy as possible. First estimate person was notified that he is no longer needed.

New Business:

M/S/C to continue having the Lake County D.A.C. mow our lawn.
Building inspection projects and bids, and data sent to the Lake County Recreation Board. Estimates were asked for and received. Key projects listed by the Building Inspector, we prioritized the work: 1) chimney repair; 2) floor joists, insulation, insulation in attic, electrical work-several items; 3) flooring – good cleaning and complete wax job; 4) outside trim work and painting. Agate Electric, Brenna Carpentry and Remodeling, Duluth Tuckpointing and Chimney Repair. Work will be done between 2019-2021. All forms, estimate copies and expense report have been submitted to the Lake County Rec. Board. M/S/C to approve costs of all schoolhouse building work and estimates.

Projects Day: painting porches, skirting of front wall, one red wall (if there is time), white trim, landscaping, wash windows. Projects Day is set for June 8, 2019, 8 a.m., lunch will be provided.

New projects: there is a dip in Larsmont Road by the culvert. Lake County is planning on redoing the Larsmont Road. Suggestion – build a Little Free Library to be set at the driveway, leave a book, take a book concept. Will need volunteer to maintain books, library when necessary. Suggestion: build little library to look like the schoolhouse.

Suggestion – have volunteers open the schoolhouse once a month, in the summertime only, dress to the period, be historians for our building and Larsmont in general. We would ask for donations. Create a docent position. Have archives ready to be read, offer coffee, tea and local history. Duane Madison is willing to volunteer one Saturday a month, he will work with the volunteers. Duane will share names of those on the big picture of the July 4, 1925, community picnic.

No formal decision was made on any of these projects/suggestions.
