Paula asked the Elks if we could use their room for large events during the day, and they
agreed.
Paula suggested having Tai Chi classes outside on the grass to be seen by other town residents.
Not enough space outside.
Paula also inquired about having a dedicated space in the newsletter for the Police and Fire
departments to use. Josephine said there isn't enough space for them and it would be difficult
getting information from them.
Mary asked about signage on the street for the COA. Josephine will contact the Highway
Department.
