Upcoming Events:
- Winglass, Judge and Cheryl will set the room up for the Deliberative session on Thursday. Judge has scheduled Jim Panoe.
- Coverage for the School Board Deliberative was discussed and Judge will contact Carol Capola to see about covering this. Judge will also drop in to the Regional High School to check out the layout for cable.
Unfinished Business:
- Morin read her speech to the Committee and after input from the other cable members she said she will rewrite it and email the rewritten speech to the committee.
- Landry is in the process of finding furniture for the upstairs of the town hall. She showed us an example she has found but the price tag was high. She will continue to search for more furniture.
New Business:
- The committee went over the by-laws line by line. The by-law changes were made up to Section E number 4.

The discussion on the position of the vice president and the updating of the cable operators job description will also be taken up at our next meeting.
