Christine shared information she has gathered for calendars. VistaPrint maybe too expensive and plans to look into what it would cost to have Staples or another retail chain produce the calendar. She is still looking for submission of pictures. Also asked commission members for ideas on how to go about selling the calendars; two suggestions where possibly through Town Hall and Parks & Recreation Department.
Angel Beaulier handed in resignation as Clerk for the Hockanum River Commission. Commission search for clerk on their own.
Paula informs commission that Roger Moss is no longer with the town and Jim Uhrig is filling in until there is a permanent replacement as director. She continued by saying Parks would no longer be in charge of clean up and now their contact would be Tim Bockus the Acting Director of Public Works.
Peter Klock joined the meeting around 6:50. He was late because he had been attending the Rotary Club meeting where he was looking for their support with the next Duck Race.
