August or September. Motion was made by Bill Hardin and seconded by Shirley

VIDEO PROJECT: Shirley Davenport introduced Nicole Cromwell, past chairman of
the Sharon Planning Board. Nicole has experience with this type of project and
is willing to be of assistance. Several sugguestions were made including there
are materials available in Brockton and through Foxboro Cable TV. Nicole said
material should be located and formalize available material. Tim suggested
interviewing people at various locations. Bill Keating was one person suggested.
The video should appeal to genral public via cable t.v. and could also be used
in schools. Nicole will make contact with Jessica McGonagle of Foxboro Cable
TV to get plans underway. Would it be a combined effort? Feelings were in the
affirmative. Phil mentioned that he may be doing a pond restoration project
and that may fit into project. Suzzane suggested that Trudy Cox, Secretary of
Environmental Affairs be included. Nicole suggested it would be well to in-
clude residents of the Canoe River area also.Tim said monthly reports on the
progress of "Video Project" would be helpful.
CANOE RIVER AWARENESS DAY : There were good feelings as to attendance -- a
very good turn out. It was noted that the choice of site for this activity
was a good one. Bill mentioned the benefit of Mansfield and Norton closing
of Red Mill Rd .... maybe similar areas should be closed to protect water supply.
Video is available for future viewing.
