In attendance:
KWhitby, Jane Michaud, Kim Kilmartin,
MPelegrino (this is 2 from
that 1 town rep from each town is supposed to be at the
meeting.
Karen reported
on attendance/success of College Panel night...about
150...good turnout. Problem came with desserts..(none showed up where the panel was being
held, the normal auditorium...some were discovered dropped
by the gym, where
a basketball game was being held).... Discussion ensued re:
clear communication, town reps are supposed to
call "volunteers" listed in the membership
directory, etc not the same volunteers
all the time...and town reps are not expected to do the food
themselves. Apparently in the past town reps
have done themselves and I have to say that people really want to be
called....this is their way of
contributing, so we need to use the directories for our
Friends needs andnot rely on the same people.
Also, we discussed
that next year, maybe desserts are not necessary...but we
could have used more decaf
(I made 40 cups...and it all went!)...
We also
discussed where all the files might be for all the events...so
that
chair/co chairs know how to go about these events...Dennis
apparently has
them and I have emailed him to drop them off in the office
or bring to
thenext meeting, where we can get
them to appropriate chairs. too much
time is spent reinventing the wheel.
Jane reported
on her delight that so many people had submitted apps
for the grant requests...the fiduciary committee will be
meeting this week to decide
on applicants requests.
Jane has done a great job assembling this
with Amy Bergers' help who
spearheaded the project last year.
Discussion on
some appreciation luncheon/mosaic or patio furniture in
Val's name...someone
needs to step forward and get something going on her
behalf...many ideas but a coordinator is needed.
