August 16, 1976
Minutes
The Shorewood.Park Commission met on August 16th, 1976, at Minnewashta
Elementary School. Present were Raby, Wyatt, Keeler, Drews, Breck-
heimer, McCuskey, and Heiland.
John Cross, a developer of the proposed Shorewood Yacht Club spoke
to us about his plan. He said he would furnish 8 to 10 butterfly sail-
boats and canoes at his club which would be available for lessons for
Shorewood area children. He believes he could teach about 100 during�
the summer. The lessons would be three hours twice a week for six
weeks with Shorewood children getting preference. The $25.00 cost
would be considerably less than other area yacht club fees.

well to horseshoes. Volleyball and basketball will be installed on
the old tennis court bases at Cathcart and Manor.
Several commission members expressed concern that city workers do not
submit work sheets on a daily or weekly basis. We will encourage the
keeping of work schedules.
