Opening the Schoolhouse in 2009
Pending Doug Webster’s (town building Administrator) approval committee members Charlena Walker, Christina Kuchinski, and Jennifer Dupuis would like to open the schoolhouse to the public in 2009 for a tentative six Saturdays throughout the summer.
Charlena Walker was nominated Volunteer Coordinator. She will contact prior committee members to ask for their availability to volunteer this summer. This includes Louise Knapp, Nancy McMinn, Bob Quigley, and Shirley Reed.
It was proposed that a committee member do a quick inspection of the schoolhouse to ensure that no significant changes/damage has been done over the past winter.
It was proposed that the committee members look into National Volunteer Day in the month of June as a further resource for volunteers to assist with the schoolhouse.
The cleaning of the schoolhouse in preparation for a summer opening (pending Doug Webster’s approval) is scheduled for June 20th at 8:00 A.M.
