Correspondence and Communications:
- Mary W. mentioned the Memorial Day Parade. As of now the start time is not known. Mary W will contact Bob Donavan for the loan of his risers. It was also noted that it would be a good idea to test all of the equipment ahead of time. Michael Jewett said he was sure the Police Department would allow us to use their generator. Diane will ask Sue to schedule an operator to record the parade.
- The conservation Commission has asked if we could film their controlled burn at the Bush Farm. It was suggested that we could get one of the Conservation Commissioners’ to narrate the filming.
