out the locations and choose suitable tree types.
We spoke of planting a tree and plaque in memory of deceased longtime committee member Phil
Goldman,but will wait a respectable amount of time before we contact his widow to discuss same.

of silence.
The tree and plaque in memory of Anne Trimble is ready to be planted this fall at Down's Farm.
Regarding the proposed Tree Code,we have submitted our opinions/suggestions to Town Attorney
after a review of the latest draft of the Code.
Curtis Rand will be getting back to us about the 2-3 trees that Fishers Island will possibly want
planted there.

The first letter to the participating schools for the Arbor Day contest will be prepared and sent out
