stated that until then, we will use the Library Common Room.

Chris Leard and Ed Westhaver can help that day.
- Sherri Gurnon asked the Recreation Commissioners for their sizes so she can order the
Summer Camp T-shirts for them.
A request came in from a parent regarding the Little Kicks program. It is a very
popular program and fills very quickly. Many of the registrations come from people
outside of Mansfield. She asked that the Recreation Commission consider an initial
