OLD BUSINESS:

        Property upkeep: Front steps:  Lupini Construction has started making repairs.  They found hairline cracks on each side of the big slab, which were probably there for 40-50 years, but the contractor didn't think there was any cause for concern.  If it is addressed now, it would require an approximate $20,000, extra work and extra time.  Scott Lupini will look into making it more secure.

              Parking lot:  There is no money available, so this project is put on hold.

                

NEW BUSINESS:

        Summer Reading Program –The kick off will be held on June 25th, 2021, which is the last day of school.  Local magician Leon Etienne will be performing that date at 4:00 on the front steps.  

          Amy Piaschyk will be our program leader again this year.  Except for the kick off performance, the rest of the gatherings will be virtual, with Take & Make activities.

        Back Door – The back door is now our only entrance, and its condition was discussed.  Rick is looking for a contractor to rebuild the back door.  Some suggestions were offered, and more information will follow.

        

Meeting was adjourned at 8:20 PM.  Eilleen made a motion and Veronica gave a second.

        The next meeting is Thursday, May 13, 2021.
