Hello Donna & Susan.
Missed you both.
1. Tucci – no action…DES has it in its ball park. Packet in the in box.
2. Tan Road…Laural very concerned. DES has it as a very low priority and I
agree.
3. Old Home Day – Conservation magnets are coming. Paul is going to get a tree
that we can use for conservation public relations. He idea was floated that we for
25 cents we give out a magnet, tri-folded PCC info sheet and a tree raffle.
Donna, do we need a permit?
Do either of you know how to make a tri-folded info sheet?
##I talked to Tami Colby this morning and got us a booth next to the historical
society. I have a folding table & a couple of chairs. Add an umbrella and we are
in business …hours 8 – 3 PM.
4. 24th July – next PCC meeting.
PCC now has some money and an opportunity to do something.
Realizing we are on the PCC for a little while, and then are soon gone….
We need to determine what projects the PCC is interested in,…then get them into
an order of action. The result can be that as we depart each of us can point to an
improvement we have caused to happen in Pittsfield.
Example: The last big push was the Sargent town Forest trail system…kudos to
that group.
Bring your ideas. Think needs, costs, resources that can help us do the project.
