Notes:
- YAC has been busy with their granola fundraiser and will meet tonight to start planning the 6th grade dance.

- The response from vendors at the Youth Fair was very positive. Lisa will write a follow-up article for The Drummer.
- There was a discussion regarding how to improve the Youth Fair in the future, i.e. more advertising, more activities for children, possibly coordinate the fair with another event in Town such as Celebrate Granby or Little League Day, etc.
- Teri will contact the youth on the board to see if they’re still interested in serving on the Board. Linda Pollock will contact Lisa Venn to see if she’s still interested.
- Lisa Schroeder sent an e-mail stating she may have to reconsider her participation on the Board. Susan Accetura is interested in joining.
