B. Town Parks Updates
Mrs. Woodford reported that the parks are still closed. The Little League Parade has been scheduled for April 16.
- Coalition Update – Brigid Gunn
Mrs. Gunn reported that the committee is currently looking for activities that send the right message that will promote good and healthy activities and choices. The group is setting up guidelines that will include three levels of town involvement. Groups or businesses wanting to offer activities will have to complete a form and the coalition group will identify what level the activity meets the goal.
Brigid has some concerns that the coalition does not include coaches because coaches are such a large group and spend a lot of time with a majority of our kids.
Ned noted that Kay Woodford, Director has retired and expressed the Board’s thanks and appreciation and sincere wishes for a lot of enjoyment of retirement.
ON A MOTION by Squire Bressor, SECONDED by Suzanne Yucha, the meeting was adjourned at 8:14PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Kay A. Woodford
