The meeting is the meeting is coming to order at 5:03 p.m. on June 23rd. And in attendance is Elaine Ho, Barbara Bigalow, Christine Marglin. Oops, I just saw
somebody flash. Oh, there's Nico Jacobs and Bighgam and Sam Spisiac aka Town of Shootsbury. And I have the same name. So, how cool is that? Hi, Nico. Welcome.
>> Hi there. Hey, you just you just answered our question because I had not put the um the Zoom link in the the last email I sent out, but I as I recall, Jess had said check the calendar for the Zoom link, but here you are. So, >> yes, I meandered my way through the
website. Yes. >> Yay. That's fantastic. So, um, Nico, because I know that you are going to need to leave early, I'm going to switch the a couple of the items around so that we'll be talking about membership first
or or second because I know that a couple other people will still be coming. Um, but we'll make sure that we get that and um figure out what we need to do about getting you signed up and voted in and all of that other good stuff.
Um, okay. Approve the minutes. I almost was going to forget that because Christine, I think I need you to like give me the evil eye at the beginning of the just like look at the you got to get the minutes approved. So, um, is there a move? Is anyone move to a motion to
approve the minutes? Any discussion? No. Second to the motion. And all those in favor? All right. So, they are approved. Thank you. So, I'm going to start with just a quick review of the current programming because I wasn't um I wasn't
there for it. How did the bird watching go? Wasn't the bird watching on May 30th? >> Yeah. Um >> right. >> I talked to Cliff >> and I emailed Diane and they said it was great. It was like a It did end up being
a really rainy morning. Um but they still got to see a bunch of birds and I think they nine people came. Oh, that's a good number. Hi, Annie. >> Everyone who signed up still came even though the weather was dismal. So, >> good. >> That's as good as it gets.
>> Yeah, those birds don't know the difference. So, you know, >> sunny, rainy, whatever. I'm glad that went well. Um, this is our second or third year asking him to do this and it seems to be very popular. So, I'm hopefully that's something we can
continue doing. Um the other thing that had happened since our last meeting was uh the monthly hike at Freeman Road. Was did anybody here able to go on that walk? No. Okay. I will just assume that it was a smashing success because they always
are. Um and then soccer's done for the season. Is that >> the last one? And that was great. >> Okay. And so, Nico, you may or may not know, but the the um actually it was Sam, I won't even say the committee. Sam
really started up a youth soccer here in Shootsbury. And the kids get together. It's on Saturday mornings. I don't remember the time. >> Sunday. >> Sunday. >> Sunday mornings. >> Sunday mornings, right? Sorry. Sunday mornings. Um, and it's been it's been absolutely great because it gives kids
an opportunity to play up here and learn about soccer without having to go all the way down into Ammerst. And I heard, am I remembering correctly, that there were actually some Ammerst or other parents who were asking if their kids could come. >> We have Yeah, we have a pretty strong Ammerst contingent that come.
>> I think that's fantastic. >> Yeah, >> we'll show everybody how to do things here. >> Okay. Um, let's see. I'm keeping an eye on the time. I'm just going to give I think we can go through this pretty quickly and if not then we'll come back to it. In terms of the future
programming, we talked about all of this next time, but because we will not be having a meeting in August, I'm going to suggest that some of the subcommittees that are formed to get these things going might consider meeting during that time. The one is the bird houses and
right now in memory of Christine and the current subcommittee is me, Christine and Jess. And we've cut we just need to talk with um um I'm forgetting his name now. Um Susie Moser's son >> Dave.
>> Yeah. >> Right. to talk with him about um building them because apparently they had come up he and his dad had come up with a basically a template to make all different kinds of of birdhouses.
Um and in terms of timing, I think it probably makes sense to have the timing on that to be done in the very early spring late winter so that it's going up when birds are coming as opposed to right now. So, that gives us plenty of time to get this all sorted in terms of,
you know, how much it'll cost, how many we're doing, what size holes to make, all of that sort of thing. Um, the mushroom walk, right now, we're going to be coordinating with the library because at the library, they're going to have a mushroom talk on um October 1st and we
have a mushroom walk planned for October 3rd. So, those two will um uh be a be a program together. question. Do we want another night sky event? Should I contact Tom Sheeting? >> Wait, wait. You You said who is
organizing coordinating with the library? Do we have >> Oh, I said who is actually that's a question I have. Who is organizing? I'm not sure who exactly was doing it. Was it I think Ann, you were one of the people who meant who recommended the
person. Yeah, I think and I don't want to um volunteer her because she's not here, but I think Diane said that she >> Okay. >> Yeah, that's what I thought. So, yeah, Diane. And I'll get a hold of her and >> if anyone else is interested in that, just get a hold of her. Otherwise, I
will um help to organize that one because it's just mainly a matter of gathering the names and I can do that. So, uh, any feelings one way or another about Tom doing another night sky?
>> How did the last one go? >> What? >> How did the last one go? >> There was one >> There was one this weekend, but I think that they have like a >> That's different. Yeah, >> that they're doing four, but like I think that they're doing four like the
library and Tom are already coordinated to do four throughout the year to look at the movement of the night sky. >> Right. >> So, >> and my my understanding is they're doing kind of bare eye looking at it. >> Yep. >> And what Tom has done is had people come
to his home and then has the uh telescopes there for people to use. >> Okay. Last year it was a it was a real pain in the butt. And the reason is the damn sorry the darn skies to that
my yeah it was recorded but not really. Um those darn skies it they got clouded over and so what I was thinking of doing then it just became really difficult because then I was trying to find new times and getting a hold of the people
who'd signed up. And so this year, what I would like to do, assuming Tom agrees to this, is um gather all the names and give them all to him. So we'll have the initial date and then if it turns out that it's cloudy or we can't do it on
that date, then Tom takes over and he finds a date and he's just and then he can be communicating directly with the people. Otherwise, I'm in the middle and it just was it was a real headache. So, if that sounds okay, that's what I will
plan to do. If we're going to have another night without registration and then just send out a town announce if it's >> I think we could at this point because we had a cap of 20 people in the first year. We had over 20, but we've had just about 20 every year since. So,
>> okay, >> that might make it easier. That's all. >> Okay. Yeah, whatever makes it easier is gonna is is fine with me. All right. So, I'm going to stop right now with that because Nico, we don't I don't want you to go away. Uh, first, thank you so much.
>> I'm not going to be driving while you're uh talking. >> That's right. You got you got all these parental figures here, you poor thing. Um, anyway, I guess >> what
>> my mom has been giving me the Zoom call like, yeah, just like make sure you're about to be on your way off the Zoom call before you're on your way to the the next place. So, yes, don't worry. I've I've had the >> Okay, >> that's covered. Okay, we can't help
ourselves, you know. It's nothing personal. We just can't help ourselves. Um, I just want to say how really pleased I am that you're interested in in being a member of the committee because we I well, we're not all
gray-haired anymore. For a while, we were all gray-haired and then we kind of broke the gray hair barrier with people with younger children, I guess, who may have gray hair. So, it's not just that, but it's it had been it's really been
evolving to represent more people in town. And as we get more people from where different demographics, we're getting much more interesting programming. I mean, it's just pretty amazing what we do now. So, the idea of
having you and the others participating is pretty exciting. So the way our um our process goes uh for um bringing new members on is to invite them to a meeting and here you are. Um you are
certainly you know at some point if you just think I don't want to do this that's you know you're certainly not beholden to uh this is for you to decide if it feels like something you'd want to do. Um, but we like to find out a little bit about you and then we can each say a
little bit about ourselves. Um, and then uh answer any questions that you have and then we would uh do a vote um about whether or not to have you become a member. We have one vacancy for a regular member. I think
Jess probably explained this to you. And that's the one that you would be beholding. And then at this point we have to set up two associate memberships for Josie and um and is Miranda. Um so
we would have to set up um we have to go through we think we have to go through the select board that that is we can't just say oh let's have two associate members. I think we have to get official approval. But I don't think that's an issue. So, can can you I'd love to hear
We'd all love to hear a little bit about yourself and your interest in in being on the committee. >> Yeah, for sure. Um, so I'm Nico. Um, I'm a rising senior um at Ammeris Regional
High School. um I just reached out to me and I was um super excited for the opportunity because um obviously I've lived in my in Shootsbury my whole life. I went to SCES
um Moose is strong. Um and um yeah, I just I love um what you guys have had going on. I know that if I was a kid or even just another member in the community, I would have been so so
excited. Um especially because I just love the outdoors. So like the hiking and the bird watching um has just been like seeing those things on the agenda. I'm like, "Wow, that sounds so sick." Um
and >> especially when you eat bad mushrooms. >> Yes. Yes. That's honestly I'm so so down. Um every mushroom's, you know, um edible at least once, so you know, why not um try it out? Um so yeah, I I just
um I I really want to be able to bring um sort of a youthful eye, I guess. Um, I really want an opportunity to be able to um be a more
um like be more involved in the Shootsbury community. Um, and um I yeah, I guess I was just so so psyched that Jess thought of me for this position. So yeah, that's that's a little about me.
>> Yeah. Um, do others want to just say a little bit about themselves andor your experience on the committee? >> Christine, you go first. You've been on the committee longest, probably. >> Yeah, I am now the the longest serving.
Um, no, this committee is just really fun, Nico. The truth is um even when we are uh elderly people, we manage to have fun. And um unlike other things I've heard about but never experienced
myself, um we never have fights about things. We laugh, we joke, we say things we shouldn't be recorded saying often and um yeah, we just really have a good time and we're trying to make good times
for the town. So there's just no way to go wrong and you would be such an asset because uh as you know you'd bring in a whole different interest level, a whole different element and you're obviously super articulate and it would just be
lovely to have you. I agree. Um Christine and I were on the committee at the a time when there was a lot of us old women on the committee that really were trying to keep things going but didn't have a whole lot of um
interaction with people with children or you know different areas of the community. And now that we have this group that's here and the few that uh didn't make it today, Diane and uh um Jess, I mean, it's just been really
great. It's it's a committee. I've been on a lot of committees um from select board all down and this is the only one that I can say. We really have fun almost every time. We laugh quite a bit and there's a lot of great stuff going
on and it's an easy committee to be on. So that's one of the nicest things about it is the work is fun. Um and you get to do things like go on geology
um tours and see birds and go on hikes and just do a lot of you know a lot of cool things. So, it's it's really nice. >> Hi, Nico. I'm Ann. I' I've been on the committee probably longer than I
remember because I'll just I'll just say like what everyone says is true. It's a lot of fun. And I think something I mean, it's great to hear that you're interested in stuff we're already doing. But I think one of the reasons we're all excited about having you come and every new member come is we're this committee is just so open to new ideas about what
does recreation mean? you know, we love to do art stuff. We started a trivia night this past year. So, we'd love to hear um and uh Barbara and Christine can talk about this. They co-did an improv group and we were saying it would be really fun to do one of those maybe just
with teens. So, another thing for you to think about and why it's so exciting is maybe there's things that are very teen focused that you would like to do. So, um we do also have a budget which is really nice. um no one has mentioned
that but uh it comes in really handy. So uh so anyway I I hope you're interested and there's never any pressure on anyone to do anything. I forget how many years ago it was that we decided that if somebody comes up with an idea as long
as there's at least one person who's willing to shepherd that idea we can do it unless you know it's there's an expense or some kind of um barrier to being able to do it >> unless it's illegal >> or What? Oh, darn. I didn't know that. Oh, okay. Well, and or if it's illegal,
you can't do that. Um, it but it's it just it means that if there's something that's there and it's of interest to you or if there's something there, like when Christine and I were did the improv, we both had an interest in doing that and it was just
it was fun for us, it was fun for the participants. Um, but there's never any pressure. So it's not like okay you have to work on x number of projects over the course of the year. If there isn't a c for some reason there isn't a project that's of interest to to anybody then
they just don't do it that year or they um or something is coming up in someone's life and they can't whatever. It's there's no real rules around that. So you know if there's something you really want to do um you bring it here. There's usually a vote on it. The vote
almost always goes yes and then you know you and whoever else is interested puts the thing together. Sam or Annie, do either of you want to >> we've met. Hi Nico. >> He's babysat and Annie and I's kids before when we went to trivia night
actually. >> So um yeah I was it's just basically the same as everything everyone else was saying was like if you have an idea it's a great platform to do it. like I wanted soccer for my kids. It's just like a a place to make things happen if you if
you want to do it. So that's what I love about it. Great. Yes. Hello. Um she's too young. >> So um hi Nico. Um, I am also very new to this committee and I I just think that
everything Barbara said is true that it's kind of very laid-back and you can as far as I can tell as as much as you want to do, you can do. And I I really haven't done very much, but um like you I thought that the um committee was doing a lot of fun stuff and I liked
going to it and especially stuff with my kids and um so I wanted to help just make more of it. >> Yeah. and you opened up the door to Elizabeth and to the seed things um or to the to the gardening. She's a woman I
can't remember her last name and the woman who did the workshop on gardening. Anyway, she that was something that that Annie knew Elizabeth asked her if she'd be interested and she was. And in fact, that was one of the things I had on my
list of something to consider is whether or not we I would love to have a um a seed saving workshop in the fall because I have no idea how to do that. And it seems like it's a good thing to do. So, you know, just one idea then opens it up
to I think you got to take the the volume thing off on the laughing, too. >> What a cutie. So, do you have any any questions of us, Nico? >> I don't I don't think so. I think it sounds super.
>> Okay. Well, then I think we can move to uh what what is the motion to um Good. So, that I'm going to take that you that you'd like to be on the committee. Yay. All right. So, now we just need to vote and I think we can safely vote with you here. we don't have to ask you to leave
the room or the car as the case may be. Um, so all those in favor of adding uh Nico Jacobs as a member and let it show that it is unanimous. Yay. So the next step is I will submit your name to the select board and then someone will be
getting in touch with you and you will have to go and get sworn in. Um, >> right. and they'll the you know someone from the town will get a hold of you about that and I think you we do we all have to do the um conflict of interest
training so they'll get a hold of you about that >> I don't know about anybody else I every other year what >> no we all well every other year we have to do the conflict of interest but we all have to go up and get uh our sworn in
>> right um by the what is it? >> Somebody >> assistant assistant town >> administrator >> town clerk. >> Okay. >> And that's very restricted time. So, >> but they'll get a hold of you about that. And >> Right.
>> Yeah. Great. And then um I will get a hold of um Josie and Miranda and I've already sent a request to um uh Brendan about find getting information about associate members because when I was
looking at the pages of other committees, the ones that had the associate members, they're listed as associate members and it doesn't strike me that that's something that a committee just arbitrarily decides to do. So, we will do that.
Welcome. I'm really glad you're going to be >> Thank you so much. >> You are so welcome. And thank you. >> Yeah, I'm super super excited. >> Good. And you know, it's there there are things anything that that's currently
going on that you want to participate in either just to take part in it or to help organize it, that would be wonderful. And if there's something that you've been thinking, boy, wouldn't it be fun if they offered this, you know, bring it to the next meeting
and they'll get it figured out. >> Amazing. Well, thank you so much. And um nice to meet all of you who I haven't already met slashbet for their kids, >> right? Oh, and just usually we meet once a month on the last Tuesday of the month
and from 5 to 6. We do not meet in August. >> Right. >> Yeah. Okay. So, >> super. >> All right. Okay. >> Amazing. Well, I'll see you in September then. >> Indeed, you will. There's a song about that even. So, >> all right. Well, thank you so much.
>> Okay. Thanks for coming. Bye. >> Bye. >> Bye. >> Bye. >> All right. So, our I'm very excited about this. And we have we have actually u Matteo to thank for this because that was one of the questions at trivia night
was how what's the youngest age somebody can be on a committee and vote and it was 13 and so it was like we can do that. So this is fantastic. Um, all right. So, going back to looking
at the things that need doing. I think we're all set with the mushroom walk and we'd already talked about getting the marketing going for that in September at our last one. I will I'll approach Tom about the um the night sky and it is different than what he's doing with the
library because this will be it's it's it's looking it's it's getting the telescope view of stars as opposed to the broader picture of what are the night skies doing. Um trivia nights November and February um
will need a committee um to start up in September. I would think the sooner the better with that. Um, but we've pretty much Yeah, we can we there's really nothing we need to do at this point with that. We can do it in September. Does anybody know will any
teen members be able to help with the trivia night at the sack or or at the Yep. Or is that because of their age? What? >> Oh, why not? >> Oh, I didn't I didn't know. Just >> kids can come there. >> Oh, okay. That's what I figured. I just
didn't know if there were any kind of legal anything things around organizing events or anything. Okay, that's fantastic because it would be fun to have some um different questions that that somebody who's a fraction of my age might come up with that I might not come
up with. >> Never answer those. >> Barbara, you got to let that agism go. You're very young at heart. So, >> Well, I I am. Oh, I know. I know. It's it's it's always kind of a surprise to me and I hope you all have the same feeling. I'm guessing that um some of
the others here do that that um it's like 75. I can't be 75, but but it's just it's Yeah. So, it's not a negative thing. It probably comes across as more negative than I mean it.
>> Um >> so, should we just confirm because I think Christine wants to do this too, like people that we know that want to be on the trivia subcommittee. I'd like to help again, Ann, if you >> Yes, I would like to volunte. >> Yeah, and I would as well.
>> And I'm sure Jess wants to >> since she wanted to do one in July. >> Yeah. And I'm going to guess that Diane will wait, no, Diane didn't last time because she was >> four of us. >> So, she >> It was the four of us and then Annie,
Elaine, and Sam all supported by coming. So, that was a really nice uh balance. >> Yeah, >> I'd be happy to come again, but also I know at some point somebody mentioned wanting to play and so if I could help if there's one of the times someone
wanted to play instead of organize. So, great. Um, we have is there anything else? Are we all set with the trivia things then? Okay. Um, we have two more walks
scheduled June 28th at Pine Brook. Um, Diane and I will be the representatives for the recreation committee at that one because Jess is off on vacation I think on the Cape or somewhere very beautiful. She sent a photo and then on um July 26
at Poverty Mountain and then we'll have another one going. The only thing I just just to have this on the record is that we do not um people cannot bring their dogs with them and then I realized it doesn't say that anywhere. So, I just want to make certain that when we do the
next flyer for it that it says on it that dogs are not um permitted to join the hikes because some people >> on any of them >> on any of them because so there may be people who are um afraid of dogs or um
you know nervous around them and so we want to make sure that it's stays a comfortable space for the for the walkers the and the I'll wait we'll wait for Jess to get back and Jess and Beth will continue
I assume coming up with places u going into into um August and the seed saving um >> it's just something I would love to have us do um and I would be happy to contact
her or um I don't know Annie whether you would be willing to contact Elizabeth >> I can contact her and see if she'd be up for it. Um, >> yeah. >> What kind of thing did you have in mind or like like an actual like more of a talk or more of an actual
like go out and gather things? I don't >> probably not go out and gather but ask people to bring seeds. >> Okay. Their plants, but just to I have no idea how to >> and and it's probably different for different plants. So yeah, >> it could be based on, you know, people
could be asked to bring in one or two >> seeds that they're particularly or plants that they're particularly interested in um saving the seeds. >> Okay. Well, yeah, maybe I'll maybe I'll talk to her about it and see if she has any because I feel like since she does it, she probably would have a good sense
of what might >> work. >> Yeah. Because I imagine also different times a year you'd be everything's not going to be gatherable on a certain date. Right. >> Exactly. >> Annie also Oh, sorry. I was going to say last time it was it was so great and she
even said like oh this is a little late but um just the information where she talked about like you should have a growing light and it's actually not that expensive and it doesn't take up that much room and you know it's great to think big but remember you know you're
going to have all these plants. So, she I think it would be totally fine if she repeated some of what she did in the spring because remember how she said like this is a little after the fact now, but >> um I wish I had paid better attention.
>> Yeah, I want to save seeds. Um >> so, so you could tell her that, you know, it doesn't have to be brand new, I don't think. >> Okay. I don't know what you think, but um and it could be just more of a lecture and her showing us or talking
about what seed she'd want saved and so that you know we could ask questions so we were not, you know, hauling plants and seeds in when it's, you know, you wouldn't pull them out of the ground just so that you could get their seeds.
So, you know, maybe we could just talk about >> Yeah. What what seeds and you know how you would save certain seeds like you know the difference between saving you know flowers um the uh bulbs versus
>> you know seeds versus you know whole plants. >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> Well, we'll see what she's up for. >> Okay, that sounds great. >> Yeah, >> but sometime in the like fall we're thinking so. >> Mhm. Mhm. >> Yeah. And she can, you know, whatever
time if she gives us a window, then I can I'll talk with Maryanne about reserving the room so that we can do it at the library. >> Okay. Yeah, that's good. >> Oh, there is. >> Yeah. Sorry, one more thing about that, Annie. I think you should just ask her if there's a time that it makes sense to
do because it doesn't sound like >> sounds like many of us are interested in taking the workshop because we don't know how to do this. >> Exactly. She says October is too late, then she Yeah, she's the one. Excuse me. She'll have to determine the date, but then we
also need to make sure that whatever that date is, we're going to be able to do it that at the library because that is not >> I was just that there is like a formal process online now for reserving the meeting room. Like there's a Google form. >> Oh, good. There should be a tab on the
website that says room and then you just have to check the calendar available and then fill out that form and then that goes Marian and she approves it. So there that >> is like a that's in motion now.
>> That's fantastic. I'm glad to hear that. Um, the stitchins starting this Friday will be um, every Friday from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. Um, I think I talked about this last time, but I'd sent out a questionnaire to the people who came
regularly. I didn't send it out townwide because I didn't want it to get weighted towards people who never show up. Um, and so that's so we're starting with a time that worked, I think, for everybody except one person. And the reason that
we're doing the three hours rather than two hours is that there were people who could come for the first two hours and there were people who could come for the se second two hours and then there were people who could come for the whole time. But this way the net caught everybody except for one person. Um and
I'm going to talk to that one person and see you know whether there's any flexibility for her because it's Christy Payne and she had come to a lot of them. So it would be nice to figure a way to make sure she can come. She just emailed one minute ago that she'd be there. So, it's
>> Oh, good. Oh. Oh, I'm so glad. Oh, I'm so glad. Then it's a moot point. Okay. >> So, are you going to just do it on Fridays in the summer or >> We'll probably keep going. I wanted to kind of get it going once people are there, we can talk. And if people are
saying, "Oh, this these times are great." or but if fall schedules mean that it's different for people then I would be inclined to do another um form just asking people when it's convenient for them. Um I mean it would be nice to just stay with the Fridays but if it
turns out there's a whole lot of people who usually come who can't come because of commitments they have in the fall then we should I'd like to be able to accommodate those if we can. The bottom line is it has to be during hours that the library is open
>> because then it's not dependent on any one person to open it up. >> Yep. >> So I think so we did the future program the new members um oh the Lake Wyola
commi committee. So, Brennan reached out, um, I'm reaching out to your committee as the newly structured Lake Wyola advisory committee is looking for an individual to be nominated as a voting representative on the committee for the upcoming fiscal year. Could you
please poll your members to see if anyone is willing to be nominated as a representative? And if so, if they could just fill out the committee and board application and submit it to me, Brennan, um, as soon as possible, that would be greatly appreciated. So, if
anyone I think everybody got his email, I think he sent it out to to everybody individually. Um, there was not a big outpouring of of um interest in being on that committee. They meet on Saturday mornings once a
month, I think, something like that. Um, but anyway, I mention it. I don't really have any more information than what I just read. Uh, when I was handing out garbage bags a week or so ago, uh, Cat Hilton stopped by and she is she lives
there. So, she's on the committee and was, you know, just kind of again asked if if there was anybody who would be interested and willing and I really don't know and I know I'm not. So, anybody dying to be interested in hearing more about it, if you're
interested in learning more about it, get a hold of of Brennan or Cat Hilton is probably the best thing to do. And then if somebody decides to do it, just let Sam and me know so that we know that we that we have a representative on the committee. I don't know. I don't
know if anyone here knows any more about it than I do. I do not know why they decided to expand that committee and have outside represent representation on it, but >> I think it's a I've I've heard through
grapevine that some of it can be very um difficult and contentious >> between members, but um I don't know. Uh, you could we should probably get more information.
>> I know that April was on it for a while >> and if Cat's on it now, she could maybe uh maybe you could ask her for to send us a little blurb as to >> That's a good idea. >> You know, what's involved? >> Yeah.
>> Okay. I'm pretty sure in one of the communications from Brennan there was a bit more information about the types of issues that they were dealing with that they wanted some input on and I and I know that it's on a Saturday morning but I don't know anything beyond that. Okay.
And I'll just get that out to to people and you can decide whether you want to follow up with it or not. Okay. and stop is sorry. I have these cats who are intent on destroying my home at the moment
because I'm not feeding them and so I'm trying to ignore them and they just made it very difficult. So, at any rate, they're currently just sitting there looking put upon. Um, that's all that
was on the agenda. Was there anything else that anybody wanted to raise? Oh, hi Eda. Okay. So, um I guess now is there a motion to adjourn the meeting?
>> So, moved. >> And is there a second? And all those in favor? I'll let the minutes show that we adjourned at 5:41 p.m. and our our next meeting will be in two months.
>> Okay. >> Sorry, Barbara. I just have a question about that. >> It I thought you had said earlier that we weren't meeting in August. >> Right. Right. >> But August is two months or is >> Oh, I'm sorry. That's right. That's right. We are meeting in July. Yeah. I'm
a confused puppy. Okay. Thank you. >> You're welcome. I um >> yeah. >> Yeah, you're right. I just I for some reason I have been unsure whether it's June or July. >> No, that's fine. >> I settled on July. >> I won't be. When you said that, I
thought, "Oh, good. I'll be here in August, but I won't be here in July." >> Okay. Yeah, it is. I'll I'll send out a clarify email about that. >> Thanks. >> Okay. And then we can also at that point in July um hopefully we'll know more about the associate members and we can um have
them come and we can vote them on as associate members if they're interested in doing it. Okay. >> Okay. >> All right. Thank you all as usual and see you all in July and some well
practically July. So, see you all in July. Bye. >> Bye. >> Oh, we'll see you all in August. >> No, July. >> Wait a minute. You have me confused. You
said we were not having our July meeting. >> Oh god. I'm going to have to go back and look and see when we usually have our meeting, whether it's in July or August. I'm I'm a little spacey at the moment. Okay. So, I really >> I'm not going to put that in the minutes then. I'm >> that's probably a wise thing to do. And
then I will go back and look at last year. So whatever month we didn't have a meeting last year, we won't have a meeting this year. And actually, it makes more sense for us not to do July and to have August because August is then bumping up against the the fall.
>> So >> that's what I thought it was. >> All righty. Thank you. Bye.
