some minor shaping that is still left to be done. |

is to start the 2004 Working Plan. |
Communications Committee (Mark Meritt via
note):
| Kickoff meeting on April 2nd went well,
although attendance was a little light due to a conflicting fundraiser
at the fire house. Jean is looking for copy of the article that
the Register Star published about the event. |
| Mark now has the password for the
website and can make updates to it at any time. As a result, we
will make the agendas and to-do list available on the website again. |
| Mark sent out a press release today to
announce the Forestry Management Plan as well as the upcoming spring
planting and Arbor Day observance. |
| Mark has created a comprehensive,
integrated database that contains information about all relevant people
other than donors. Evelyn needs to decide if her donor database
should be integrated with this database. |
| Evelyn requested that people cut out
articles about the Village Green when they see them and give them to
her. She needs original copies of articles to submit to Tree City
USA at the end of the year. |
Fundraising Committee (Evelyn Krueger):
| Financial status:
| Our Village Green fund totals
$5324.98. |
| Our village budget fund totals
approximately $400.00. |
|
| The village received a grant application
from the 2004 Hudson River Estuary Grants Program. David asked
Evelyn to look at it and determine whether anything would apply to the
Village Green Committee. |
Additional Business
