Moore's Pond Beach Committee Minutes March 11, 2013 @ 6:30 PM Present: Gloria Varno, Kathy Connelly, Dave Shepardson, Clare Green Meeting called to order at 6:40 PM Minutes of January 14, 2013 meeting approved as written. Ice Cutting Kathy brought a slide show of the ice cutting on USB drive and we viewed it while the meeting was in progress. Dave said he added more sawdust to what they had packed the ice with that day. They did it a little different than last year with laying plywood underneath and drilling holes to let the melting ice drain and not pool underneath. Covered the ice with a painter's canvas and covered it with about 12 inches of sawdust. Dave and Clare both have 2 chunks of ice in their freezers for safe keeping. Coverage in both Athol and Greenfield papers was very good. April Lasagna Dinner People are commenting they are looking forward to the lasagna dinner. Clare is making 1 white veggie and 1 red veggie instead of 2 white veggie lasagnas. We figure 10 lasagnas total should be plenty since we had leftovers last year. Kathy is going to put in the newsletter that if people want take-out meals to please bring their own containers and please call ahead so we will have a head count. Decorations will be the same as last year with the shells and pails on the tables. Dawn Magi has agreed to help with collecting money that evening. Kathy is scheduled to pick up the bread on Friday at Stop and Shop for 99 cents per loaf. Setup is scheduled for 4 PM. Decaf coffee is going to be made but only 50 cups this year. Desserts are going to be only brownies and chocolate chip cookies. Clare is scheduled to make 2 pans of brownies and Kathy is going to ask around and see if any other volunteers will be willing to make desserts. April Dinner Theatre David Young asked if the Beach Committee is willing to help run the beer and wine bar at the April Dinner Theatre. Proceeds will go to the beach committee. All agreed. We will run 2 hour shifts on Friday and Saturday evenings. Clare and Gloria one shift. Matt and Kathy another. Others that we may ask to help will be Jim McRae, Diane and Gordon Ellis, Nicol Wander and Ginny Marshall, Dawn Magi and Barbara Noel and Barbara Walker. May Cleanup Scheduled for May 18 2013 at 10 AM. Dave is going to contact Mary Williamson and see if she could come by and tag some of the shrubs. Seems as though the town highway department came along with their cutters and cut most of the shrubs including the marked ones. June Walk to the Beach Scheduled for June 22, 2013 starting at the cemetery since there might be other activities in the center of town where parking might be a problem. Kathy is planning on walking the trail to mark some of the area for those who might not keep up with the group. She said they can also clean the pathway from the winter debris. Kathy will check with Jim about music. Gloria Varno is resigning from the Beach Committee at the end of her 3 year reign so everyone thanked her for her service and Kathy said that Diane Ellis has shown an interest in becoming a member. Hope that Diane can make the next meeting in May so Gloria can turn over the notes and notebooks to her. They are also looking for others to possibly be on the committee. Next meeting is scheduled for May 20, 2013 at 6:30 PM. Agenda will be results of April Lasagna Dinner, Dinner Theatre coverage, May cleanup, June walk to the beach. Meeting adjourned at 8:00 PM
