Members of the teen library board were at the monthly meeting of the Conrad Area Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday to tell the business community what they were all about.
Shannalee Finlayson and Claire Nelson loosely moderated the teens speaking segment, introducing teens. They touched on a variety of books available at the library and ideas to make their special room at the library more appealing by decorating it.
Micah Carpenter and Seth Moerkerke write library articles for the I-O, and are working on a teen board website and review new books.
Roberta Kronebusch touched on a play the teen board had brought to the high school and about fund-raising they will be doing.
Other speakers included Jenniver and Jamie Deloy, Jasmine Hilyard, Mardi Elings and Allison and Meghan Bruner.
In reports given, Mayor John Shevlin handed out copies of a meeting from a Teton County commissioners meeting in Sept. 1909.
It noted that in a special meeting of Aug. 10, 1909, votes had been canvassed on the proposition to incorporate the town of Conrad in Teton County. The vote had passed 14-3.
The purpose was to let everyone know that Conrad will celebrate its 100th birthday in September 2009 and he wanted businesses to begin thinking about ways to celebrate.
He said the city is struggling with their budget and that on Sept. 6, at 6 p.m. there will be a public hearing in Norley Hall on a proposed sewer rate increase and urged the public to attend.
