            A motion was made by John and seconded by Phyllis to form a subcommittee to establish what needs to be done to the room to make it useable, i.e. non-slip ramp, mold removal, furnishings, etc.  All in favor.  The subcommittee will consist of Joe, John, Howard and Rosemary.  The subcommittee will meet the first week in January.  Greg Farrington will be asked to inspect the room.  The subcommittee should send a letter to the Township Committee outlining the plan for the Center. 

 

A letter should be sent to Crate and Barrel thanking them for their donation of furnishings and advising as to the status of the project.

 

            The Board should email John suggestions for programs before the January meeting.  Betty Conover advised that Francine Hannay is willing to do a musical program.
