To this meeting, but only Alba Goldthorpe attended.

Elizabeth Armstrong said she would consider and get back to me.

Brief discussion about establishing an Elder Care Fund to assist an elder who may be in acute financial need to pay for prescriptions, food, fuel, shelter or other forms of basic necessity when no other funding source is available.  Since there was not a quorum, it was tabled for a formal discussion and vote when a quorum is present.

Discussion with Alba about the Board and its mission and whether or not she might consider being a member.
