Easton Recreation Calendar - discussion by the board. Ron co mented that
he would like to have the volunteer who worked on the calendar to come to
the commission meeting and give us some idea what is involved in starting
our own Community Calendar for Mansfield.
Maryanne commented if the calendar can be done well, lets do it.
Lorilee reminded the board that the Recreation Department does not have time
or the manpower to work on a community calendar. She also reminded the board
that you can not get specific dates for everyone. This causes extra work
in advertising the event.

Ron suggested that we invite the volunteer from Easton to talk to our
Commission before proceeding any further with this project.
