Beach:
Only $170 collected in Beach Passes. No expenses yet.
3.) Beach Up-Date:
a) We have not yet heard back from the State with regard to our swim area permit application and the variance requested.
b) The Beach has been set up. There is a problem with the flotation of the raft, but it appears that it has corrected itself. Next fall we will bring it in and make a permanent repair.
c) Biff reported that this year when he put the boundary lines, he put new hardware on the ends of the lines to facilitate removing and installation. He measured the depth of the water under the raft - 6.5' even with the Lake level high.
d) Port-a-Potties were delivered today and the phone will be activated soon.
e) Peter Furmanick and his crew have spread a number of loads of gravel on the first section of the road to help fill in the ruts. He will be grading the road sometime soon.
f) Hazel Hall has cleaned up the beach by raking the accumulated winter debris.
4.) Current Programs:
Wendy reported that the Fairy Gardens program ran and was fun. This will be done again in the future.
Wendy will be mailing a summer flyer this week. The Board spent some of this meeting folding and taping the new flyer getting it ready to mail on the 7th. Wendy is also readying a flyer to be sent home with the HCS students. Another flyer will follow. This second flyer is printed on legal size paper and features a calendar of the planned activities of the Summer Camp.
5) Day Camp:
a) Early sign-ups are a little ahead of last year .
I = 13
II = 9/10
III = 7
b) Scholarships-
There are a number of scholarships and camp applications in the works.
c) Wendy and Angela have done a fine job of putting together a Parent Handbook and a Staff Handbook.
d) The Board OK'd the purchase of a limited cell phone to be used by Angela.
e) Wendy reported that because of a change in emphasis and scheduling our transportation budget of $1800 will be much more than the $1000 slotted to be used. Some of the excess may be used for quick transportation from the beach to HCS if inclement weather moves in.
f) Wendy has been placing the new portable sign in front of the Town Hall reminding parents to sign up their children for Day Camp. She will try to do the same at the HCS.
6) Correspondence – Wendy reviewed some correspondence she has had over the last month and how she has responded. The Board had no input other than to endorse what she has done.
7) Other- None
6) NEXT MEETING: Monday, July 11th at 7:00 PM
Respectfully submitted,
George D. Sutcliffe, Jr. (secretary)
