--------- I'd like to call to order the uh May meeting of the Kingston Public Library Board of Trustees. It is 6:03. Um in attendance this evening, we have trustee Lee Lewis, myself, Emily Curtain, and two new members of the board. Welcoming
Emily Bruce and Anthony Costa. Andrew, I'm so sorry, Andrew Costa. Um we are missing two members of our board uh who would normally be with us and you would note here on the agenda
that the first thing that we're supposed to do is approve minutes and reorganize the board neither of which we can do with only two um members of the previous board present. So we are going to skip over those and we're going to talk a little bit about how the board meetings
work just because there are too many new members. also in attendance library director Donald and the reason we all get together every month pretty much Lee Emily Emily all right that will be very easy
and now I know it's Andrew which is my son's name so uh we meet once a month prior to the meetings um all the trustees are given the reports of department heads in the library and Donald's report and any relevant information that we need for
the meeting. We get monthly statistics if there is something that we're going to discuss, whether it be a policy or request that's been made in the town or an issues that has arisen with the budget or um the property, then that will be listed on the agenda and we'll have the documentation and it will be
sent out to your email prior to the meeting. Um we try to schedule our meetings in advance. I think we're trying to do it by six months or so. Yes. Yes. We have to have it posted six months ahead. So we already know for instance that the June meeting is the 16th back on the Monday that we normally
meet and we meet at six o'clock in the library. June 16th is the next meeting. Yes. And that's six o'clock. Six o'clock. I assume always six always Monday night. I would say yes, but of course you're on the heels of two meetings that were
shifted for circumstances beyond our control. So yes, those were my first two ever that were shifted. Yeah. Yeah. I'd say 98% of the time. This is I'm starting my second year. Um and when we reorganize the board,
that's when we'll figure out there are three specific positions within the board. Um there's head of the board, secretary, and treasurer. And then there are sub committees within the board which any member can be part of. But those three offices are held and they're organized after we have new board
members join. Um, I've been the head of the board now for six years. This is my seventh year on the board. Um, and I've always worked with Donald since he's been director. Uh, there is a library trustee orientation that's offered to everyone by NBLC and I highly recommend
signing up for it. Uh, back when I joined the board, they were in person. Since then, we had COVID and they switched to virtual and they've kind of stuck with that model. I think they can reach more people that way. So, um, we can send you the link and then you can sign up. The good news about these orientations is that, um, they're going
to run Wednesdays in June for one hour from 7 to 8:00 PM, but if you are unable to watch them live, they'll be recorded and sent to you along with the documentation such as any slide deck they may use. So, you'll have access to all that even if you're unable to be at the meeting, okay, in live time. And
it's helpful because they'll just walk through what it means to be a trustee. Um for us it means basically we work with Donald on the policies of the library, the budget of the library, um operations, all of those things. And in some communities where trustees
here are elected, in other communities they are appointed um in and depending on the structure of the community um the governmental structure um that will also indicate whether or not the board um you
know basically has power which in Kingston this board does. Um and you know in some communities with the structure the for example the trustees all they can do is set the hours of operation and do policies that most
likely have to be you know confirmed by the town itself whereas generally our regular policies that the board here is the governing body of that. Good to know. Yeah. And in addition to those sessions that they're going to have in the evenings for new trustees, they also
have on their site, I happen to have it up here on the laptop, they have um a handbook and a trusty pocket guide, which they call it the trusty pocket guide, and I've referenced that um many times over my seven years. It's MBLC. Um
Donald, either Donald or myself will send it to you. I'll send you everything. Yeah. Um and then you'll be able to explore beyond simply um the orientation and anytime that you have any questions you can certainly reach out to myself or Donald and we'll be
happy to answer them. Is there going to be like contact lists sent as well? Yes. So to make sure once I send you that first set of reports everyone's email is on that. Um, actually it brings up another point. When we are emailing as a group online, you cannot reply all
because then then you're running into open meeting law issues. So always even if you have uh a question for the entire group, reply back to one person. We'll have to figure it out in the meeting or we can send out separate emails. And I assume something like Slack or Discord is not encouraged for similar privacy
concerns. Yes. Um, I'm trying to think of what else. As we mentioned, the meetings are recorded. They're always recorded. So, you can also refer to a recorded meeting. If you ever want to go back, you're remembering something, you don't remember it clearly, you can always check the
meeting. We also post our minutes. So, and the in the printed minutes are the actual um record of the meeting. Okay. Um, not the video. So, the recording doesn't get posted up on pack TV or anything like that. It does. It does get it actually it actually gets sent it it
actually gets sent to archive.org. Okay. Like it literally that's it. It's there for perpetuity. Official good to know. All right. Thank you. I'm trying to think of if there's anything else. If there's anything we need to vote on, we have to have a
forum. Um, so I usually ask if it feels odd micromanaging, but I usually ask just to feel is anyone going to miss the meeting so I can know ahead of time whether or not we're going to have a quorum. It just so happened this evening that the two cancellations happened in short time. Can I ask a question on that? I already know that I'm going to
be out of town for the next meeting. Can I zoom in? Yes. And I can count and I can vote and all that. Absolutely. Yep. Always accessible um through the virtual option as well. So, with having a someone via Zoom, um, normally, you know, with everyone present, it would
just be, you know, yay, nay for a vote. Um, it would have to be roll call vote because people want I just I I travel a lot in the summer, so June and July. By August, I should be back, but I might have to zoom in for the next two meetings. So, just FYI.
I mean, that's when I'm off. That's I love you all, but I'm not. I'll just zoom in. You got it. Yeah. Do you have any questions about operations thus far? Do we have a quorum today? Because I know like for the first piece we don't, but for subsequent
pieces, we technically do if you've both been sworn in at the time. So, we do have a quorum, but in terms of voting through the minutes, because you weren't present at that meeting, it's just the two of us, and that's not a quorum, which is why we can't do it. And we can't reorganize the board mostly because um the people who would
potentially be in those positions aren't here. Yeah. as new members of the board, you likely wouldn't step into one of those positions. Okay. First meeting pretty reasonable. I appreciate I'm not do that in my first meeting. So, thank you. Wait, I didn't get a ton of extra
responsibility. You guys didn't hear that. We all did not it last meeting. Guys, you're so laid on your noses. So, I think that's it in terms of operations so far. Yeah, I think generally that's that's where and in terms of policy review, the way that
it's come up in the past is kind of organically there'll be an issue and we'll realize this policy hasn't been looked at for a little while. So, it's something that we need to examine. Um, thinking of what we've looked at and what hasn't been looked at. There'll probably be a policy that comes up fairly soon just because it's older, but
we just did building use for the atoms. We recently did an the animals in the library policy or library property policy. Um, those are the two most recent ones I think that we worked on. What's the animal policy? Um, bottom line is basically service
animals. Understand? Did something happen to spark the conversation or is it Well, sometimes it'll be something in neighboring communities will happen and we'll realize we need to be prepared for this. Yeah. Um, and I think that might have been a neighboring community issue with people claiming that certain
animals were emotional support animals. Yeah. and you know coming in with dogs on leashes but not but they've not actual service animal. That is correct. That is correct. It is for legal purpose. Yeah. For Yeah. Yeah. Because it then creates such a liability for us.
Well, there's no certification for emotional support. No training. So that makes sense. Yeah. Okay. I'm a landlord in Boston. So [Music] All right. So I think that's a good
introduction. It's a lot of information. They do have it organized well on the site. So, I think it's a little less intimidating than just having you spit um a bunch of things at you that you need to keep track of. And I assume at least for the first couple meetings, it's kind of okay if we take more of a vaccine, just kind of see how things
arrive. Sure. Yes. And this should be a relatively quick meeting because we don't have a lot on the agenda. The two points that we had other than the standard reports, payment of bills, and foundation and friends update were tabled. So we are now going into the
director's report which is the highlight of every meeting and also takes the most time except for this one. This one actually is not that long due to the fact that last month's meeting was so late in the month. True. You know that there really isn't um you know a lot to
really um you know go over. So basically um what with this I just you know highlight some of the things from my report. um you guys have given my report and the others um you know a few days beforehand to review and then um you know I just highlight a couple of things and then if folks have questions about
my report um you know we'll just go into greater detail with that. Um so in April um we did have um some staff training um one of the things that we did was a um through the Massachusetts
library system um and we do use a lot of acronyms you know in the library world. Alo MLS, MBLC, ALA, you know, so we will I can explain them as we go along. So the Massachusetts Library System is an organization within the state that
provides um the statewide delivery um databases as well as um continuing education for library staff um both professional and non-professional. Um so they have been working recently with the ALA which is the American Library
Association to offer a greater um expansion of training surfaces and and seminars. Um so this was one particular one it was called helping serve the neurodeiverse in your library. Um so it
basically was um the bottom line was be nice to everyone and welcome everyone and you know provide the services that you know folks need. Um you know it it was being sold as um you know folks maybe some an older person that was you
know experiencing early onset dementia um you know an autistic individual um you know someone suffering from depression what have you. Um so it did give a great overview of um you know interacting with the public and the community because you just never know
with folks coming in you know what they've experienced and you know what they're bringing you know through the doors. Um so that actually has triggered us to look into more specific programs um for training um with that because there were questions that staff had.
There was a group of four of us that attended in my office. Um and we, you know, hope to find something more that can give us more specific answers. Um with that um I met with the IT um
consultant the town used to have an IT director and then now is a um consulting firm um that within the library and within the town we are now having to do multiffactor authentication. Um, so we have these cute little fobs that look like USBs that have numbers. So every
time we log into a computer, we have to um use those. Um, we are in a unique situation unlike other departments that only have staff computers. We also have public computers and so initially they were going to require that the public computers have those. Um, but I have
worked with OLN which is the old colony library network that the library is part of. Um, and we're potentially looking to either have the public computers moved onto the OLN network, therefore not part
of the town and um network, so there'd be no threat there. Um, or to actually have a closed network. Um, that would it would just be basically the the public computers being able to access the internet only. Um so it is working on
that to find out what the better solution is. If we go the route with OLN there will be a cost um you know with that because they have their own IT um company that they use. So um and off the
top of my head I'm not sure what that would actually entail or upfront or nothing or both. Um it'd be up front. It' be up front. Yeah. Um and I mean I do know the company is
expensive something said um so to avoid that I would prefer that we just did the local um you know network um so that is being done we are going to be working with it to um come up with a technology
plan um which is part of the agreement that the town has with them um so that we can look at coming up with a schedule for um the update ating of staff computers as well as public computers. Um, one of the things so I can say is
that so with the library's materials budget that we get um from the town the state you know um see there's a lot of information and I could talk for hours so I'm trying to be good. Um, so the
state requires the library to spend a certain percentage of its budget on materials and it's for the population size of Kingston it's 16% of our overall budget needs to be paid needs to go to
um books and materials. Of that 16% 10% can be used for direct patron technology. So like the public computers, if we wanted to buy tablets for them, for patrons to check out, you know, that sort of thing, we can defin
we can do that. The staff side is different. There isn't an account for that. In the past, it went through the IT department, but now we're um working with the consultant and you know, one the computer in the children's room, the staff one actually was taken today
because there's issues with it. So luckily the children's library has a computer in our office which was able to be brought out. Um but this now we've come to this crossroads of who's paying for this um which you know can sometimes
be a dangerous slope that you know if we were to have money um to offer oh we can get it this time but that will sort of set a precedent um with that. Um so yeah and so the multiffactor
authentication you know has had its quirks but it is overall working for folks. Um you know we kind of have it under control at this point. Um OLN is looking to go to a new ILS system which is an integrated library system. So
basically it's the software we use to check out books, look up things in and catalog and stuff like that. um that will also have a multi- you know factor authentication. Um so things are getting a little more complicated and the reason
the town did it is um because of the the insurance um the insurance would not um cover us should there be a cyber attack or some other thing. Um so it was something that the town had moved forward with.
Um and then also so I've attended multiple webinars on potential new ILS systems um to replace workflows which is our current system. Um and the system we currently have is rather basic. It does the functions but
there are certain things like reporting and stuff like that that um you know some directors within OLN would like to see expanded on. Um but the company that owned well Cersei Dynx was the
proprietor of workflows. However, as of last the end of last year, it was sold to another company and they are no longer supporting the product. So we're kind of stuck and needing to, you know, go elsewhere. Um, and this one that I went to one training today, it's for
Evergreen and um, a lot of the networks within Massachusetts already use that system. Um, and it is definitely an upgrade. So, there will be a huge learning curve for staff. Um, let's see. So, I've held multiple meetings
with staff to discuss summer reading programs. Um, this year, um, the theme is level up level up at your library. So, it kind of has a gaming thing to it. Um, but we're also doing a twist for specifically like the um adult program in the sense of like,
you know, level up, you know, your home, you know, curb appeal, you know, get a contractor in to discuss, you know, basic improvements you can do, landscaping, um, and and then personal self. So, whether it's, you know, meditation or what have you, you know, just increasing, um, you know, more
positive things in your realm. Um, so I will be going to PAC TV on Friday to do a PSA because I'm always open for that. And um, so that will be, you know, the topic that I I'll bring up there. um
you know so in the as part of this the foundation has um I asked at the meeting on Monday night um they will be purchasing um personalized lanyards for the library that say you know I love KPL um and stuff. So, um that'll be
something that we'll be able to give out as folks, you know, sign up for library cards and, you know, kind of get more um you know, kind of one of the things that, you know, as a goal for myself and the children's librarian is to increase
the number of library cards that children have. Um, in this community there is a large dis disproportionate number of adults versus children. Um, off the top of my head I can tell you what the number is, but it's really like
only a couple hundred. Um, and because mom just checks everything out on her because like in my match or they take my card. Yeah. But I love the idea of the kids doing that process kind of their own heart. Yeah. Yeah. So, we're trying to make it do a better and
Miss Holly's coming to Kingston Intermediate School to speak to the classrooms about summer reading and summer programming on the library. Um, so she's going to come there to talk to the classes and we set it up this year so that she's in each classroom for
a period of time to introduce it, which I think will be I think will be more successful than addressing a large group of children. Yeah, I think going to their classrooms it will make a big difference and if if they were intimidated by asking questions in a larger setting they'll certainly be
comfortable in that area. Yeah, definitely. Definitely. Um let's see. So I met with the archavist Nick to um collaborate on some collection development. Um, in the past the library did not use its
materials budget to purchase items for the archives and um, so since I've come along, we've kind of changed that a little. Um, and you know, you know, the archives just has a very little limited budget. Um, but recently we um, you know,
purchased items specifically on eBay um, you know, for the collection. We got a landdeed from 17 something. Um, you know, some his Jones River history
items. Um, as well as some business related memorabilia. Um, a pencil that was from a florist, I think it was, that used to be in Kingston. Um, you know, some milk caps. um as well as cabinet cards which are basically photos that
are on um they're kind of like on cardboard um sort of thing of um you know prominent people um and some po more postcards. That's one thing that we our collection is you know has a lot of is um you know historical postcards as
well as photos um so we you know been kind of focusing on that. Um and you know obviously I think it was like a couple hundred dollars for these items. Um they're you know, we're not in a situation to buy whole collections that are
$8,000. Um, which we did find out, but it's well, not within our budget to do that. Um, so yeah, so we got all and we did get all those items in. Um I've done a massive um weeding of the
music CDs and the book CD collections um which ultimately allowed for relocation of the vid adult video games as well as the adult playaways. Um so that they all
basically we had four cases for DV for music CDs. We're now down to two for CDs. One of the the third case has the video games. The fourth case has the playaways. Um and what I am looking is
some slat walls sections to put on the wall um above them because they only stand like you know like three something feet tall or something. um is so that we can use um you know different kind of hooks and things like that to display
materials you know um new items as well as get more um posters and signage and things like that. My ultimate goal is to reorganize the um audiovisisual section, eliminate the current center bookcases
that are in there um due to age and issues with them not being sound um and making, you know, more table space, more quiet study space um as well as potentially making it a small kind of
program space. So for example, if we needed book club to be moved there with 10 people, there would be sufficient space for that. Um so I've been working on that, working on job descriptions for the
um professional staff members as well as KT union positions. Um that was one of my goals for this year is um I think there were four positions in total um to upgrade at the library. We have um myself which is a wager personnel um
staff member, the other librarian. So we have the children's librarian, the the teen librarian, reference and archives. They are all regional personnel as well. And then everyone else on staff follows follow fall falls under the KTU union.
Um, so if you ever, you know, you'll hear as we go along with things, wage personnel versus KTU that, you know, those are the different classifications that we have. Um, so we're working on those job descriptions. Um, the union job descriptions have not been they all
the staff have the same exact job description even though they do different things. Um, and it's been years since it's been upgraded. Um, let's see. Right. So, we've had some um vent
cleaning done at the library that was drastically needed um specifically in the children's room as well as um yeah as as well as there was wall damage to um in the art gallery near the
[Music] um near that bench. There was like a perfect round hole that like the size of a nickel that um that was there. One day I went to
that gallery and there was just a perfectly round hole. So they're aware of that. They're taking that. Um I did think that Oh, no. No, no, it's a perfect circle. No. Yeah.
Um and I discussed with facilities um concerning about doing a walkth through and having a potential wish list for capital planning. Um so when we need to do big repair, you know, jobs at the library or any town department that
needs to have capital projects, whether it's police needing a new, you know, um cruiser or what have you. um there is a financial threshold that costs well I think it's $25,000 that anything over that amount goes to
capital planning and you know we collectively meet with the capital planning committee um to discuss and get things on the schedule. So it's like okay we asked we say we asked for three things and it's like okay well this year you'll get one and then you know two years from now you'll get another you
know to kind of just get it on a schedule um so that we can um try to make these improvements and sometimes you know things get shifted because of emergencies and stuff like that. Um but I did want to you know meet with him um to go over some of the things that um
you know will become the bigger ticket items um there. Um, so those are kind of the highlights of my report. So if there are any questions, so for those issues, would that be like planning specific
dates and times you want to implement or years you want to implement them or is it more like a conbound stuff like as you have extra capacity pull off the list? So basically, so what I'm doing with him is, you know, going around the building looking at things that um, you
know, definitely need some changes. So for example, we know that the for the courtyard, the glass windows, the glass has to be replaced. It's getting foggy. The seals around them have, you know, a deteriorating. You see some that are
half hanging down, um, and stuff like that. So what will happen is we will make somewhat make the list then we will price it out and then we take that to capital and then looking at what the
overall town need is you know then there's a you know determination like if I wanted you know my office to be refernished and we needed a new ambulance well guess who guess what we're going to get you know so it is you know that sort thing. So, we'll just,
you know, so it but it gets the conversation going because obviously the town would say, you know, well, if we didn't know you needed this, you know, like, you know, as we've noticed things needing um, you know, maybe we needed a new furnace, we thought, you know, the furnace is going to last for a couple of
years, you know, but we just don't know if they talk about it now, get it on the radar so that we can um, you know, just action versus reaction. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Makes sense. So after Donald gives his report, we I generally open to see if there's any
comments on the staff reports. Staff reports go out with the director's report and they run down what's happening in the different departments of the library on any given month. So any comments or questions about the staff report? Um the next bullet is a foundation. Oh,
I did it again. Oh, the statistics. Um I tap on to the director's report Donald usually runs through the statistics that are sent out um just to clarify. Yes. So this would be the statistics document right there. Got it. Okay.
Okay. So which there is an error in it. Um that'll clarify. So the way it is run what we do is we provide the monthly statistics for the different formats of for the library. So, audio
books, books, DVDs, um, lodge print, miscellaneous items, music, CDs, periodicals, and things like that. Um, so when you look at this sheet, all right, the one on the right
is last month. So, this will be April's statistics. This will be March's statistics. So, that we do a monthly comparison. And then as we go down, the small grayish um square section is the number of holds that have been placed
for materials for that month. And then to the right of those that is the number of registered um patrons for that specific month. Okay.
So it looks like a total of 52 new registrations. That is correct. New registrations. New registrations. Yes, I assume that doesn't include the news. No, no, no. This is just being added. So, I will go just quickly under um
under that there is the first one that's listed is called ECOD. And what that is is when someone um basically wants to either um use databases or um have access to our
online um ebooks and things like that. and don't physically have a card, they can register for an ecard and not have to ever come into the library. They can use those services, but those cards expire quickly versus the regular
traditional cards. Okay. um if they did an e-card. So you could get an e-card, place a physical item on hold, and then when you came into the library, you would fill out the application like you like most people do. And then we'd ask for ID and
authenticate them and stuff. And then it gets changed from an e-card to whatever their standing is is, you know, if they're a resident, non-resident, if they're an adult, juvenile, so forth. So it wouldn't be listed twice. Correct. Correct.
And then the two big boxes on the bottom, the one on the left is an error, so we're not going to look at that. So that one is actually um supposed to be the monthly April 24 versus April 25
statistics. And with those stats, April of 24, we were at 10,498 transactions. April of 25 we were at 10,516 which equates to
a.17% increase over last um April's um stats. So year yes. So then this the last section that I have here is um the year
to date. So when you look at the line for Kingston, you see that year to date for 2024, well not year to date, but the full year for 2024 was 127,467. Currently, we're at
110570, which is down technically 13% 13.2% over last year, but we're comparing a full year versus this year's year to date. So we're almost almost to we're halfway through the year and we're
almost to the the total last year. The year goes from July to June. So we will so we will exceed that. And so um one of the things that I do point out is that
um once again with the percentage the percentage over last fiscal year to date um is basically your improvement over where you were last year at this time. And when you look at the numbers here and you look at the percentages, Kingston
has the best improved. Oh, right. Good for us. Like that was too. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. We you know, so we definitely So if you think about it, so we're here we are at um you
know, we're in May now and on average, you know, you'd say 10,000 a year. Okay. So if we if we're at 110 now, if end of April, you add 20 there. Okay, we're now going to be at like 130. So we will
exceed um last year's numbers. That's great. Um it will actually be more than that because June at the end of June it will spike. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, one of the other things that that is normally included in this report, but for some reason, um, so I was doing this when I
was away over the weekend in New Jersey, um, on my phone and we have digital content from Hoopla, which allows you to do ebooks, e audio, um, and videos and things like that. Um, for some reason it would not let me into
the accounts on my phone. Um so I will provide that data at the next meeting or I can send it out before um the next meeting. Um but basically what we do with that is just show um year to date the number of circulations and the cost to those
circulations. So with um Hoopler for example it is a payer use. So we don't pay anything up front but if you check this out it might cost 2.95 to the library and then at the beginning of the next month we'll get an invoice for that. Um and we're seeing a drastic
increase with with it. Yes. Um while Donald was doing this presentation, it reminded me that one of our um larger jobs as the board is to perform a director evaluation every single year and that is coming up again. So, your first year, right, it is uh
your first year on the board, you just kind of go along for the ride because obviously you can't really evaluate one month into the job, but but um the rest of us will walk through the process and you'll have all the same documentation we do. Um and it starts in June because
I send the form to Donald. He does a self-ealuation, sends it back to me. that goes to the board along with gathering the commentary of um each member and then it's presented in August to Donald in a meeting prior to our um
general business meeting. But that is a one of the things we do every single year and we won't be hunting for a director ever again. So we don't have to worry about about a job search because that also falls under our job description if
Okay. Yeah, maybe another nine years. [Laughter] Um, um, so the next item, the staff reports as we kind of breezed through because we didn't have any commentary on that foundation and friends. We usually have a representative from the foundation
here. We are very fortunate because we get to work with the foundation as um two vested parties in with interest in the library there. the fundraising arm of that, but also they work with trustees to just be vocal supporters of the library, supporters of the budget,
correct? And what happens at the library, promotion of the library. Um, usually the head of the foundation and Debbie Grace will attend the meetings. She's actually stepping out of that role over the summer, and I think there may be a new member of the foundation will be attending, but I wouldn't be
surprised if you swear if more meetings before that. um upcoming for them is the library. They've had that twice before and there is one coming up in the fall. So that's what their focus is right now. Um the next bullet point on our
agenda is payment of bills. This rarely ever is something that we need to worry about. When we do have someone stepping into the tre uh treasurer role, we will have to pay for their bonding. So then we'll have to go through the process in one of these meetings. But that's the only thing I can think of upcoming. We
always have an old business and new business um bullet on there just so we can cover our bases if something comes up after the meeting agenda's been posted. um under the old bullet. Um so there has been a project that's been going on at the library from
Eversource. Um it actually it will be two years this coming October that um at the end of the library's parking lot um they were looking to install a utility
box that um would allow um for better services to the community. So during the winter time people would not be having outages. The promise was no power outages. That's how they sold it. That's Yeah. And so they um began that project
um there they had to dig up the library's parking lot. So if you drive there you'll see a difference in the asphalt um in order to do some lines and things like that. Um and in the process they ripped out lines that went to our light posts in the parking lot. So they
had to come back and repair those. And so honestly since then um there has been no action taken with them. Um I did speak to the town administrator um who was speaking about a um a project that
Eversource was working on and I said well what about us? It's almost two years you know that we've been waiting for this and it was a big they were making a really big push. It was discussed at town meeting um and so forth. So, um, he did speak to, um, the
new representatives because folks are changing positions, you know, moving around and they don't know what the last person, you know, talked about or whatever. Um, so I am waiting to get a response back so we can give an update as to, you know, what's going on with that. So, understanding through context, the thing that you're waiting on is
actually installing the box, right? Sounds like box and whatever. I mean like they did the infrastructure changes to get ready to support it but didn't actually sponsor. Correct. Correct. So at the end so if you at the end of the
driveway the parking lot if you were to look at it there was like a rectangular hole covered by a piece of wood and two um cones. Yeah, I've seen it. So I always wondered what it was. That's what it is. That's what it is. I was
just and I was like, "Yeah." Yeah. So, that's what it is. So, we've been waiting never to lose power again. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. So, I can't remember which road there's one that's there. There was
already one in town that they referenced when they came to talk about how it would be an eyesore. Um, so they were referencing that there one was one already in town. And the way that they were talking about it, you think it was all going to happen and unfold and be installed and be up and running in three
months. And that was two years ago. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Um I also under old business, I'll mention that the next meeting will be back to Monday, June 16th, six o'clock at the library. Um new business
Seeing any then I'll take a motion to conclude our meeting at 6:46. I move to end our meeting close our meeting at 6:46 p.m. Second. All in favor? Part: 2
So call the meeting to order. Um we have a committee 21st [Music] 53. So we have um starting off we have some new faces here. Um since this is your first time in person
on the Zoom meetings. Um and we have Paula. Paula is a candidate for the committee. Um, so we might as well get So you you technically haven't been voted in yet. We have to approve you and then it just goes into select and they vote you in. Then so you can do anything
here. You just can't vote. Got but hopefully by next meeting. So um we have Paula and we also have um Mike Lacha has put in a letter of interest as well. Um Mike would like to
um as long as he's sworn in would like to take charge of the um old home and we have some great ideas. So um I think we can do them together. Does somebody have a motion that we um it's not Paul or actually Paul would like to say anything
or Oh no. I read the the minutes from before and I look forward to working with people. A lot of great events happening. So um someone make a motion to um accept Paul Mary to the committee. I move that we accept
Mary to the committee. All right. Um all in favor I very good. I will pass it on to the vote and vote again. Um and actually I always forget to do this. Um, we need to

missto also Gary visiting for today and commission. [Music] Oh, I will do a um Oh, let's go back. I myself forgot to hit record at our last
meeting that we did have, but after that, it seemed to be a Zoom problem because we had a Zoom outing. You couldn't have our last meeting. So, um we did take several votes at our um March 19th meeting. If I could just um read those off and get them
both. Um so there was a motion made by Emily seconded by Dawn. So we will need a second another second tonight um to spend up upwards of 13,000 for two pound signs that were
300. I know we made that motion second. All in favor? I Okay. Um there also a motion by um Emily and a second by Christ and it was four I believe $5,000
for the motion and a second. and also motion by Emily um second by Pen um for $5,000 for merchants that both in favor.
Okay. And and um for those of you that were there um we made a motion to accept the minutes going to have anybody issues at all. Um we have a me Chris and seconded by Emily. So you

sorry uh book 5,000 5,000 and upward [Music] and that money was out of the state That will [Music]
be a couple other. All right. So, I will move on to um just a little bit of an over. So not counting the state grant that we have um the funds we currently have and we um think
we have it right now 22,000 $5241 um and so um our numbers we do have we did get a grant from the um I said tour and travel division the state and it was for5
$50,000 it is earmarked that we talked to 25,000 right now spend the 25,000 before June 30th. So, we're over the month. Um, as long as we spend that money, we will build the other 25,000 that can be built and use a year and a
half. We don't have to use that time for that. Um, so we some of those votes you just heard are some of the stuff we're using to spend that initial 25,000. Sure. The signs for out. Yes. Yes.
from those signs or is it those are the same signs. There's more of them going on. Yeah. So, yes. So, those have been paid for. No, those those have been paid for the sund they have more that they can get from
five to five. Aren't they beautiful? Gorgeous. And Sunshine Gardens did a beautiful job. Oh, did they? Yeah. It wasn't done on that one. So I can't wait to see Jeff.
Yes. So um I hope we finalize the whole account with the state submitted. They give back one thing. I have estimates. So I'm waiting here. Hopefully by this week the end of next week we put out money and we can actually make the um
expenditures. Um, [Music] so I'll finish this and we'll go back to that. Um, I have um a list of some of our events coming up from the town. It's in
the packet. Um, it's gates for graphs market and gates. Um, [Music] So June 1st I don't know we have to do that for June 1st if that's possible. Um
what we're looking for here is volunteers who can um spend a little bit higher. They don't have to stay there the whole time an hour or two um at all. And we also um were invited to the military
church on June 14th. here a yard sale. Um, and they're working on getting us for that so we can be able to do that. And I believe it's 9 to 2 a.m.
[Music] So is would there be anybody interested in kind of organizing this this volunteer? [Music] We don't have to fill all the time. Does anyone
interest I have now the rest of it? Um they'll split it up into a couple location. How much time do you think the president? Um it depends on them. It's only two
hours. We don't want to be not at all. Yes. Yeah. I think that was that right? Right now it's just been just passed. Um yes, we
need to find out about them. Um I know you have a regard something code. Thank you. That's what I wondered if we had a way to use
it on the website. All right. All right. You can talk to her and see if we can get um right now they don't have another option. I don't know if we can set
[Music] up the phone. You could Yeah, I I didn't want to offer that. I have done that for some people, but I didn't want to offer it. Anybody else should do that? Yeah, I could do that, too. Cash is going to be high.
You're going to need the bank. It's everyone's going to have fun. at least Saturday. Sunday. [Music] What about um um so that is a private company. I think
that's the um the hotel does that. I could ask them and say a lot. That's a possibility. There's not enough. Is that true? Um there's a smattering, but the food drops draw from
all Yeah, it's not. It's not a ton of Well, in the beginning, and then once people, well, it's so expensive and we've done it all. Right. Right. Right.
[Music] Um I'm still doing the farm for several months, but I know, right? I mean, I have a feeling some white people would be upset about that, but the music nights at the beach, I think the July one, July 8th and 22nd. I'll take both of
those notes. Um the other ones I'm traveling I'm hearing not here but I'm hearing both of those. [Music] because my superower that I never had. I definitely can get some of the market
[Music] really. Um, yeah, we're open till 6:00 on Tuesdays, but our hours on July 1st. Okay. [Music]
Uh, sure. Just just [Music] remember that. [Music] email that if
anyone can contact just remember that um and be available right now. Um any communication between them? One who another person would just interview more than two people outside of here unless we actually
[Music] [Music] can't don't reply. Yes. Like if you if you want to add yeah these days are available and someone can say to you yes I can do this but you know you can't have a discussion [Music]
we can work on that Sorry. Oh, I have a question about that. Um, where the power so I think I asked previously random committee can't have like your own person on a Facebook account, right? Or something like that.
We do. We do. Well, I can't. So, we can post about the um about the house, right? And then [Music] um I can [Music] ask around
[Music] I just don't know. I got to check with [Music]
[Music] to make a flyer. Here's what's coming up. Yeah. So, we were hoping to get them a little bit more set than last meeting.
I'm hoping that's why I got the list. How can we get set? And then I think we wanted to come to the list and maybe Okay. [Music] Um and you still have a you said by May
dates. No, we can we can do July. Yeah, that's fine. and um on the house floors. So we didn't have we don't have any Facebook went down so you didn't have the last. All right. So um while we get into
the um the definite um time frame for summers. So the gala um one of the members that was um running the gala had to step down. So I'm thinking over that right now unless we can find someone else. I can help
with the sign. And um I think um Patricia I believe is also she might be back. Okay. Um I don't I don't charge any but whatever. I'll do whatever. Um so
thinking of doing a December event, but nothing has been set in stone yet. Um, do you want to stay with the December date or do we want to move in? So, was
Jos I did I talked to him about [Music] um about this yet? Yeah. December. I feel like enough notice the holidays are a great time to have an event just to be a holiday party kind of thing like
decorations and stuff. I'm wondering we get into January everyone tired from the holiday. I would say either December or like March because [Music] yeah kick off to the next year. Yeah.
Like I kind of like the idea of having December and as long as it's early enough in December and we publicize it like you know get the word out hopefully we'll get a jump starting stuff is [Music]
also sex. So that was I know Mark. Okay. Okay. Yeah. [Music]
Do you know who got [Music] any? And do we know anything? That we do not have that. That's why I Okay. So, okay. [Music]
I'm not sure [Music] that to me and I'll do it. Okay. No, you'd like to do December 6th. Um, okay. That was me. I was just looking at
the calendar like I didn't want to conflict with luminary, you know? I don't decide all the way 20th. It's December 20th. We already knew at our church calendar meeting. That's also December 6th is also the day of
silver. That's earlier in the day. It's earlier in the day. I mean, yeah, I can move. Yeah, that's fine. It's always Saturday before Christmas. Christmas unless it's one or two days before Christmas.
Um, and the Sunday the Saturday before the Saturday. Yeah. Yeah. [Music]
Well, I'm not asking the [Music] question, but I thought it would be nice. Yes, I think. Yeah, that's great. Um, you should volunteer to help.
very well. [Music] So I um not trying to get out of but I do have some of the other [Music]
children back. Yeah. Yeah. [Music] Yeah. 10, but if you can put this together and we'll make that work. And remember, all of these groups, they're actually not working groups. So
that those rules don't apply or don't talk anything outside. Um, so there's talks about our festival too. Is this just a a Yeah, it's just a
church talked about possibly going to virus. Yeah, I was wondering I had thought about that because I we haven't figured out yet a way to invade all the churches. What if we get an art show in all the churches like a progressive?
Yeah. because it only just the five churches on Main Street, you know, because we've done our shows in our sanctuary. Sorry, there's a lot of white space. I know that's not true everywhere else, but like what have we made and then got the churches to engage by supporting in every church like artist?
Well, I mean, there's a lot of artists in the scene. We've got we got several in our church and I know there used to be like this art show every year, but back in the 90s, I think um you know, you weren't here. I don't know. I just thought I had because I'm looking for a
way to to engage the clergy and but I feel like I need to offer them something specific to do and I thought that's why we would two birds of one of what month or when when that's the I don't know I think we
should look for where the holes are and yeah so I I just plugged it in January so nothing the months we don't have anything going on February March April August, November, and December. That's
2025. 26. What about April? Like a spring art show. Yeah, April can be gnarly, but spring should be coming. Yeah, I think that's going to get out whether it's gnarly or
not. I mean, we definitely have. Yeah. I want nice weather. You want nice weather? Um, we don't want to do August for sure. [Music] [Music]
Monsc better chance of better weather. Yeah. Even if there's two events in that one month, I think it's okay. Yeah. As long as they're far enough, you know, which is for a lot of [Music]
people talk for a health council grant deadlines in October. Okay. So, we could help, you know, booze this. Okay, that'd be awesome. Okay, let's let's talk about
it, but that's great. And I will I can start I mean it's almost summer so you know better wait till I can talk about this we can at least get us
and I think that would be but hopefully do the others as well. I do why not? And I'm sure they have too like I'm a lot of churches have very creative people and so I mean but like
church we like painters, we've got quilters, we've got all kinds of [Music]
and we can leave it up to them to decide where they want the um flower they don't want in that church that big space in the back and they can do it like it's up to them what what faces they want I mean I think it's prettier to do the church but I also don't want
you know, they don't want to have art in their sanctuary if that's been on their mind. But it's a great way to engage engage all their communities and hopefully each church can do some cultivation and get people um so it's not just us.
[Music] Yes. Um, we are going to [Music]
report at the same time. So, [Music] September
[Music] September, too. So we have um old home September. I know Mike had some ideas he'd like to do it middle end but school year started. So that that kind of date but we'll confirm that for sure. Um we did have some ideas
as far as we were thinking that the best venue would be the high school but also of possibly notable possibility. So just [Music] confirm
[Music] which games are going on. Will it be any worse for games? They cancel the games that day. This is an event where everyone's going and leaving at the same time where games all happen. But the problem is the coming
might be a little bit more staggered, but they're leaving. [Music] Oh yeah. But I That's always traffic. [Music]
He actually was also in the law too [Music] [Music] last. Yeah. So that might be a possibility. I don't know if there and if that's the case
the problem with the high school I found out is we're not allowed here when they have special. Yeah. But if we bring her out Even if we have to detail, there's never a detail at the end of that road.
You have to hire detailers to help move your [Music] propert and that's on June um 16th after
the date inor trying to dec. It's a Tuesday, so it was really like not allowed to do that. I was thinking, yeah, I was thinking if we were doing the [Music]
fire, [Music] but you could also do if you're doing an art festival in May. Yeah. you know, [Music] okay, [Music]
that was something interested in I didn't Um, yeah. Well, you signed up for me, so thank you. I did. I think I Yeah, I think I'm
good. You can hold on to that. Um, yeah, keep going. Sorry. Sorry. And then ending July. [Music] All right. Bye guys. Then we also have a new um I'm sorry
July [Music] 18. Yes. Maybe not that. Um and then we also have someone that's um interested in running awards for us. We don't have a date for that.
We could see if we could do it like I I don't want to put too much stuff on the same day. Like we can find a day when they can possibly do that or separated. John, what was the date? uh fireworks. We'd like to do the same
as the old home game. I know. Um Mike was thinking um he was shooting for the end of the coming school. So either way, we're going to leave them out. Um, but Mike was thinking of poss a
little later in the day and then they might bring out [Music] [Music] you can just put my name in now called them.
I think that's all I have right now for uh events unless anyone has any other ideas or thoughts. Um only house or what I was noticing that you have on Oh, that's something that's something separate. I'll get to that in a minute.
Okay. Yes. But reminding me that we have exhibits and stuff like that. archives. We has been thinking to kick off the house at the Adam Center with a speaker and maybe have some of the
artifacts and you know what? Well, since if we're done with this list, um this is actually this list is actually from the library, right? I I sat down with the library director and the archivist um and they gave a list of things that they would like to see. Um, and I think some
of them are actually are things that you guys want to do as well. You're the book committee. So, there's some joint joint ideas. Did you get I don't know if anybody um, so there's there's some overlap there, which is good. Um, so they want to do
some of their own programs. They want to over some space for their booking to do some stuff and they um they want to work with all the different working groups that we have. So, um that might be a great idea. I know they would like to talk about
um historic homes. So, they already have that idea and then we um give them the list. Uh yes, I will um I did that to you. Yep. The problem I already approached the director and the problem we said was
possible we are doing the host on a Sunday and they haven't open or accessible. We said when we were to run it by the trustees whether or not they were open we have on Sunday because we want 11 we wanted like
11 to 12. the young guest speaker that we plan to have come and like Mitch said he wanted to have a little program. Um he never got back because that's [Music]
so I don't know if we can do what we wanted. So, um, Emily Bruce has it just left to go to the library trusting meeting. [Music] I'm sorry. I don't Is it library trusted
or library foundation that makes those? I would assume it's the trustees because it is town property. Yeah. It's not the friends of the library. No, not the Okay. Okay. So, Fine, I'll do it.
I Yeah. And um she can right and Donald when I talked to he thought it was no and he said it was a problem because they don't and if there's a consequence here. Yeah.
open. So based on what to Yep. So um he answers best via email. He asks that you have he doesn't get overwhelmed for each working group. You have one contact person for him.
Yes. So if you pick Yeah. just to make contact with him back and forth. Um it takes about um a couple of days to a week for him to get back to you to schedule well get back to you but to get an appointment into your facility so he can look at the
stuff and get it ready for you. Um any photos that we need um he can assist us with getting copies or blowing them up um purchasing them. Um there's a permission form that we'll have to sign but that's about two to three weeks too. So you can assist with all that.
Yeah, he is. He's just on the he's not like Monday through Friday. [Music] So this list here was not about related
hous as do they have any thoughts of what they would like and does involve them is [Music] Donald committee so I know that they doing stuff that they wanted to do and
then any other had some [Music] [Music] shap but that's what God said to me and I don't know if they're going to open [Music] up those
[Music] do you have [Music] Um, we requested a veteran place to live and we haven't gotten one. So, we're need right. Did you forget?
I know. We're trying to get right more people. [Music] Chime in a little bit on your list. some things I think I'm just a little confused with some of you but um just so people know one thing we the library has embraced
that we the book community have proposed is our two exhibits called then and now photo exhibit one is on veterans and generations of service um and we don't have months that are going to be month
one in the gallery in the back library so I'm not sure any of these exhibits in the mountain in St. that they were they're not referring to these are just ideas that Mick had and they may be Nick and Don had they may overlap the discussion that you guys
have so it might be in conjunction I don't know yeah I mean there's some great topics in here I just be curious to how they're planning these look like topics that Nick and Donald this looks like a brain are doing but how yeah I'm
just sharing because book committee we've been work you working and we have content on several we've been working on for three or four years in so there could be a little coordination but we'll
we'll deal with that if they want [Music] to as a messiah I did want to mention that um uh in ter sort of like a subtier of of events
uh One would be um some of you already know the Jones Society with the Bradford House. They are they're hoping to be more part of the 300 the it's tough because the leadership isn't there as
you know but there's we're trying to just help to coordinate it might be um you know the tour of the graduate health. So you got that? We got that covered. Okay. Well, I say we got it covered. I
sent a letter. We sent I don't know. Don't know. But anyway, we sent a letter and I expected to get post to me. But I've talked with June president. Yeah. And that is exactly what I
expected. We have someone to be a couple. We want to include it because obviously and and it's very important that we have to talk about the importance of so you have something to help plan for
that. No, we're just trying to help coordinate it both and I'm wearing purple hats for the both committee and also so commission right that just because that's you know yeah that's what you should be the house should be open and we thought it would be perfect
for our house included we were hoping to get six street which is a neighbor but it so you know we're trying to find two houses in the same spot that could be to make it easier for the people but um
that didn't happen. And then Mish said today that the landing the boat landing in front of the oldest in the country. Yeah. You have to somehow [Music]
right there's a time we have there is a boat you but um They're doing they building a Kingston lobster boat but there's others John
himself [Music] ransom we might be doing which is out of graphic [Music] yeah we need to we need to coordinate all this all these important things that
need to be oh that's why we got you made. I didn't know it was the old guy. [Music] Yeah. So that's they used to build ships there and
children like how did ships get out of the river? Like I think there was a lot less filled in and the ships weren't as big as what they weren't buyers. Well, see how he was a good ship builder in our community
that I was hoping we could get that house. That's terrific house. Well, that's my plan, but like I said, I'm dealing with Jan. So, I think I think
we can help. Oh, thank you. Yes. Yes. Well, Paul Fisher, I don't know. She has mentioned she'd like to be one of the do she and she was a doen at the house at
point. So, she's my candidate. [Music] Yeah. Yeah. No, we've been talking about it with our last meeting about and why I
previous now that one ended the way we are now creating kind of just caring forward what we have that we don't have anymore and it's not there
anymore street may not bring Um I don't know if it's worthwhile. We have our next meeting if you want to come and talk to the board. I'd be glad to know with our editor whatever I I just wanted to throw it out
because it came out and somebody [Music] and they're also it's the right We've talked about that, but we
don't that might be where many of the scaven and enter the background or vice versa. Yes, that that's like that's a block. Um I actually um did not last. Um it's still notice but um we
did have a table out last year. I don't know if anyone's going this year. And then um with that too as well. Have you talked to the um the daughters of the
revolution? They haven't I don't know if they have any but that might have I don't have but I do have one
[Music] back here. Not during the ceremony, but after um and actually it's not an event, but I probably should have brought it up during events. One thing I did um talk
to the historical commission about and also um some other groups is not only is it 300, but next year is going to be important with the American Foundation. Um we do not have a [Music]
definition. Um we do not. So I um I would like to do that one. There are some that are grants and hope that I would like to do that for dedicate
um to our children. a couple of cards and it doesn't necessarily have to be here. We can find other way but possibly green civil war several that can be a burial or is
not as exposed. So I wouldn't prefer this one to come back but we don't know section that would be possible but it's working. So now [Music]
Yeah, Nicholas is very I think I have I think we haven't done something. Yes, I think we're still good on time. I just run number 6:30. Um, but the other thing that I have is
the grant and right now I said I mean it has to be spent and by June 30th and then they'll give us the other appropriation. And right now we have wizard wonders I believe we've spent up to 13,000 but it's somewhere in the
12,000 mark but um for the signs and then there's um 5,000 to the book committee 5,000 to purchase some more merchandise to sell. Um with that set the $23,000 mark um so we need to come
up with um another $3,000. Does anybody have any ideas that we can go? Um, not yet because we haven't
[Music] um came back and we only have money. The problem is we have to have we have to have everything delivered to us by by
um one thing I did I did talk to the facility guy today and um we were talking about the signs. We purchased two signs plus the ban are just over $1,000. They're going to be five signs. We can purchase three
more of the gran which will put us over $3,000. This has to come right to $25,000. But if we make a motion tonight, we can use the rest of that fund and then make some of the 2,000 to be able to rem that
sign if we can't find anything else to Yeah. You think it's a good idea or would you make a motion? We'll make a motion that we move the $3,000 that we need to purchase
lower to put under the and the balance that we have. [Music] You worried that very well. why it's recorded. I remember the minutes.
Any discussion? There's a lot of events going on. Is there a lead on each of these? Do they need separately? Yes. So, that's that's those working groups that we talked about. Um so there there are a couple that still need to have reads but for the most part someone will decide for
these and then um those groups can be whatever they want discuss whatever they want and they just bring back any decisions that have to be made on money or anything like that has to come back here discussed here for you get all the information back. Oh, no. I mean, there's a lot. I'm
actually I'm open to wherever I'm really, you know, happy. I'm [Music] so happy. So, um going back to um the discussion all there.
[Music] I thought it was the the newest person got the most [Music] We don't um I don't know if this is appropriate or
not. When I ask you a question about we are going to do our fundraising. We don't have a fundraising person who's going to sell that for us. How should we conceive with that when she's going to listen to the community sent? We got a letter off. Uh and she would be the
contact person. Now when she appreciated [Music] Yes. Let me um let me find out. Yeah. Can they keep some money [Music]
outside? This is probably itself. Um, yeah. So, it's going to be the money in and money out. Exactly. We better get the book going to be an expended. That's that's what we need to find out for. So, you can't you can't just expend
money from that like 42,000 without coming here. But you take money. We take our own. Let me find that out for you. Yeah, that might be easier. We can do that. We haven't started soliciting, but once we get all of our houses, we're going to I know right now We have some
some cash in from the merchandise sale. So I I have the cash box for that all this out and everything. So but again that has to be turned in when it's done. I went back and forth to sales. So I don't know if we can do something similar to that.
[Music] Okay. So I'll wait till back after you Yeah. I don't know if they were a little confused about that because when I um was asked about it, I think they assumed that you would want to take the money out of that account. That's what they were thinking. And so that there might
be a different way to do that. Should we open a house floor? I I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know if we can open. You can open an account, but you might be able to hold on to the money somehow. Yes. I imagine they could do like a separate budget line 300 budget. Just Okay. Well, you
will tell me how to handle it. Okay, that'll be great. Just so we know, we haven't got any money yet, but when we do, we want to know what? [Music] [Music]
So, um I wanted to ask if I knew you um did you have someone who's a graphic designer? Well, I did. I She's back in Florida and I talked to her. I said, "No, next summer will be doing the booklet for us
and she was okay with it. I had a front." She also does the booklet for the garden at the same time, so she's going to be busy, but I got the impression that she was doing well. So, I think we're good because she mentioned something.
Okay. Okay. Well, I'm Lisa does a wonderful job. I showed you the book that she did for the garden. I mean, it's just beautifully done. Yeah. Um, and that's what we're working toward something on the fly and she did it for us. So, I'm hopeful she will, but like I
said, she But I think I'm good. But you had someone you said that just someone that it's just that was for the town of Seattle. Um, so it came with interested. Um, but I
haven't gone further in that will if we had someone else because I think even a little overwhelmed. Okay. Um, but I just I've worked with it before and I know it personally when it does it makes but she she said she thought she
did. But it might be so I come to you and Mitch said we'll be good. We're not going to do it until next summer. Well, I'm also thinking for the committee at large who talking about doing a pamphlet or flyer
on the events. So that um the deadline for the book is July early early July. So that we met our next meeting will be in June. 18. Yes. No, I was
actually 18 by next year. Um the grand Yeah, we might need I think probably after [Music] uh we have really

line. Yeah. [Music] Um so I also had um high school band interested in participating in some
events. So I hope you um maybe um some of our other things. I will get back to them later. I'll be back down interested and they'll announce some of our events and if they've [Music] been
filming around [Music] [Music] We came on Wednesday for the meeting, we thought. But anyway, that's another
um so at our next meeting, we will have some prevent because we've got we've got our houses lined up and we're working. So, um, would you like to have a little [Music]
