Old Business: Snow
Roller: Donna reported that Aaron
Allen has erected the shelter. The Dunkertons donated the
lumber and put the roof on. Larry
Tibbets will shingle the roof with cedar shakes. A fence or railing will be needed around the snow
roller. John Ricard noted that the
roller and shelter need a coat of sealing now and in the spring.
Abenaki Program: Approximately 40 people attended the program. It was noted that there was a conflict
with the Concert on the Common and perhaps Sharon Duffy could maintain a Town
activities calendar on the town web site.
Donna and Patsy were thanked for their work on this program.
New
Business: Canaan History Museum: the roof is being replaced by Mr. Kierstead. John Bergeron did a survey of the
buildings needs for the Capital Improvement Plan.
Discussions:
of need for
benefactors of the museum. Suggestion was made to ask Tom Geoghegan to attend our next
meeting to advise on the role of benefactors.
It was
voted to hold the next meeting in January.
Discussion of the program
ÒSeven to SaveÓ: Historical sites needing preservation Dan and Donna will look into this for
the Museum and also follow up on the Register of Historic Places.
John asked
if there is any interest in going as a group to the Sate History Museum in
Concord. Consensus was that
many have already been to it.
