Niña reported that there is a Planning Commission meeting tonight and she will be bringing to the commission the first historical designation for Lakewood, the Valentine Diner. It was planned to have this designation done last month but due to the snowstorm it was pushed back. Niña stated that the State Historical Fund Grant for the Valentine Diner was rejected because the diner was not a designated property. If the property is designated tonight, then Niña will apply for the next grant round in October 2003.
Barbara Martin said that she had finally received a raffle license. Hopefully by the next meeting she will be selling tickets!
