Notice to bidders will be placed the last of March with a meeting for bidders in April and in May bids will be opened. Construction will start in 30 days. The dam will be built yet this year or early in 1984. Jack Van
Larr sent a report to Chamber concerning the 1983 Manpower/unemployment Survey. Because of the necessity of having all eight counties on the line together for the survey, plans have been delayed for the
survey to be completed yet in February. However, definite dates for training, volunteers and conducting the survey are set. On Thursday, Feb. 24 training for volunteers in Lamoni and Leon will be held at Crown
Colony 9 a. m. and the Leon Community Center at 2 p. m. Anyone who indicated a willingness to volunteer as a phone surveyor should attend one of these trainings or let Mr. Van Larr know if there is a conflict. The
more volunteers, the fewer families each one has to call.
