Dave said the leftover sawdust is so dry that he has been mixing it with
fresh sawdust hoping to get the right consistency.
Asked if he will use Styrofoam in the ice shed this year and he said
Howard Hastings said he might have some but if he doesn't have it, Dave
won't bother to use it.
Kathy is going to confirm with Bill Gates, the fire chief, the fire
department will be on hand during the cutting.
Dave will check with Walter Shaw about some ice cutting equipment but
they already have 3 saws available.
Kathy will put a notice in the newsletter than anyone wishing to bring
ice cutting equipment for demonstration or use can do so that day.
Kathy will contact Kim at Wagon Wheel and mention that we may need some
ice in August if they can have any on hand in case we run into the same
problems of no ice available when the ice shed is opened.
April Lasagna Dinner

2 lbs of butter
10 loaves of bread (garlic was the biggest hit)
Chocolate chip cookies and brownies were the biggest dessert hits
2 containers of lemonade as we ran out this year

Gloria won't be available for this so will donate the salad dressing
before she leaves.
Clare will make 2 white veggie lasagnas this year.
Dave volunteered Bev to make 1 meat and 1 veggie.
Kathy will make 2 or 3 and check with Jim.  And also ask for volunteers
to make a lasagna in the newsletter.
Setup to start at 4 PM that day.
Dawn Magi had collected at the door last year so Kathy is going to ask
her if she would volunteer again this year.
Gloria mentioned she got the bread at Stop and Shop on Friday since the
Italian loaves are 99 cents on Fridays only.  Since Gloria will be out
town, Kathy said she may call Stop and Shop and see if they will reserve
10 loaves and maybe even give us a discount for a fund raiser.
Admission charges for the dinner are $10 for adults; $5 for kids under
12; free for kids under 3.
Kathy mentioned the water testing bill just arrived and it is $2 more
per test which we were never informed about.  She tried to get them to
reduce for last year but they did not.  She is going to ask David Young
if we can borrow from a 'slush' fund until we make up the difference at
a fund raiser.
