She further stated that at this time there is no landscaping other than a small grass strip along the building. A group discussion took place on landscaping in the area. Concern was expressed that any shrubbery or bushes planted may take away from the already limited parking. It was recommended that perhaps planters and/or hanging baskets be included in the area of the sign since the proposed work would be done in that area anyway.

The Werner-Quade family hosted one of the Japanese delegates and it was very wonderful cultural experience.
