He <br />said their figures of 67% membership in the Anoka-Ramsey area are wrong <br />that it is more like 12.8% in the Ramsey area. He feels they have had <br />a reasonable length of time to find another place. <br /> <br />Mr. Dave Reiser stated he is for the church and it should be there. That <br />is why he moved out here. <br /> <br />Mr. Bernie Wurm stated it is nice not to have the additional traffic on <br />Wednesday and Sundays.
