As we had all discussed previously, this is a GREAT
Community Event and this dinner and the month of March is ALWAYS well
attended!
With regards to the March dinner ticket
prices, Doris retrieved the poster from last year and we charged $11.00 for
adults and feels we should raise the ticket prices for our corned beef
dinner. After much discussion, Angela Belisle made a motion that the Adult
tickets be priced at $10.00, and $3.00 for Children……and it was a unanimous
SECOND by all. Nancy Pasquini will re-do the tickets.
A question what asked what we have in all
of our accounts, and that will information will be gathered in a typed
format for our next meeting.
A long discussion followed about
nominations for election of officers, whether we should do it NOW, or wait
until the membership list has been compiled and get others involved….After a
LENGTHY discussion, we completed the task…nominating the officers and Angela
Belisle made a motion to ACCEPT the following NEW OFFICERS effective April

Don Leger reported on New
Business……It’s Weed Time again! He received from Aquatic Control, the 2007
Proposal. There will be 2 inspections this year for a total cost of
$1,800.00. IF they find that treatment is necessary, then there will be a
fee of $225.00 to DEP, but this will not be incurred unless chemicals are
needed. Pete Sanuita made a motion that it is necessary that we do these
inspections and treatments, seconded by Nancy Pasquini, and there was a
unanimous vote by all taken. We further discussed that we will do fund
raisers or whatever it takes to come up with the monies. Janet Sanuita came
up with a GREAT idea that each of us should come up with 1 idea of a fund
raiser to do for our Weed Program, and we can discuss at future meetings.
Don will proceed to schedule these inspections and continue to handle for
the HPA. Mr. Weedman is doing a GREAT JOB – keep up the good work!
