Peter, Valerie and Audrey - a reminder to respond to the town's reappointment letter.
Bill suggests that actual minutes be on letterhead to be official. Town can probably provide.
Jeanne M. is willing to send out committee meeting announcements/Just get her the info. We
will discuss this potential next meeting.
Next meeting we will revamp committees. Think about which committee Legal, education or
social interaction you'd like to serve on. Ads hoc committees are Ministerial and Immigration
Eleanor questions how we can back the Director of CAST. Her question is After 9 years can a
person be put c~probation. Mike suggests that is not a bias incident as far as we know and
therefore the ABTF should not be involved.
Most of the meeting is spent discussing the Picnic.
Picnic committee has met. The picnic will be On August 28 2010 at Laurel Lake. Rev. Heyward
has contacted the Greenport Ecumenical Ministries to ask them to sponsor tables. He reports
all the members will be happy to sponsor a table and that their congregation s will bring food to
share. Please remember to include Sister Margaret in the planning.
Eltie doesn't think we should have vendors sell items. It is to be a FREE day.
Bill Ruland states there are restrictions about what we (organizations) can do at Laurel Lake.
Check with Supv. Russell. We do need to file a permit to use the Laurel Lake. If a flyer is
created, we can advertise on channel 22 and on the town website.
