Old Business:  

Snow Roller: Donna reported that we have received permission from the Historic District Commission to install the concrete pad for the snow roller.  However, construction has been delayed by wet ground.  David Zani has volunteered to do the excavation and grading and Bob Levene will install the concrete, also without charge.

Donations this summer include two collapsible silk top hats in boxes dated April 1872 5^th Ave. New York.  They are the gift of Mr. & Mrs. William Tansey; milk tester ca. 1930s, Neil Andrews; box of old books including scrapbooks.  Also, Chuck Townsend gave two copies of the Canaan Reporter to the museum.
