Moore's Pond Beach Committee Minutes June 4, 2012 at 6:30 PM Town Hall Present: Kathy Connelly, Gloria Varno, Fran Prohaska, Dave Shepardson, Jim McRae, Clare Green Meeting called to order at 6:35 PM Notes: Dave reviewed the beach cleanup which took place Saturday, May 19 and was attended by Dave and Bev Shepardson, Fran Prohaska, and Gloria Varno. Dave got the ditch dug along the side of the road and diverted to the grassy area instead of the sandy beach area. Cleared more buck thorn along the water's edge to try and starve the buckthorn. Termites were found in a rotted log so Dave disposed of that. We raked the pine grove area and Dave disposed all the boxes of leaves and pine needles and limbs we collected. We left the staining of the kiosk for Jim when he has time. Clare said she might have some stain to use. Dave said he spoke to a couple boys one day who were pulling rocks from near the dam to build the 'rock pile'. Told them it's essential that the rocks remain near the dam. Minutes of the April 23rd meeting were unanimously approved with a couple of name misspellings, Cody and not Cory, Tringali (which was misspelled). Beach Party is scheduled for June 16 from 1 to 4 PM, rain date June 23. Jim has music arranged by Ann & Terry Reed; Bruce Wilson; Matt and Nancy Hickler: and Jim himself. Clare has an application for Hannaford's to order the cake. She thinks it might be a partial donation since it's for the town beach. Snacks to include Popcorn which Fran and Gloria will provide and serve in paper bags. Lemonade provided by Kathy. Watermelon provided by Kathy and Clare. Kathy has cups and napkins available. Fran mentioned she may have some Hawaiian Lei's which the entertainment crew could wear. Gloria might also have a couple. Kathy is going to check with David Young to see if the Solar Monitor currently near the kiosk at the beach can be moved before the party. Clare suggested having a 'donation jar' so people can make contributions to the water testing. Kathy is going to provide some water testing results. Kathy has been trying to get the forms necessary to file to get the water testing down to a monthly test but no one has any idea who to contact. The water testing has begun for this year and no calls yet. Tested is done on Monday and a call would be received by 6PM Tuesday if problems. Jim asked how the sawdust was holding up from the ice cutting and Dave said they had to add more sawdust so not sure if it's melting with such a warm winter and spring. Next meeting scheduled for July 16, 2012 at 6:30 PM. Agenda: Review beach party, water testing, and Old Home Day details. Meeting adjourned at 7:39 PM. Prepared by: Gloria Varno, Secretary
