New Business

*   NH area Rec. Council - Tim spoke to Hopkin’s Realty and they are actively looking

     for an area for the project.  He also spoke with Barry Glassman’s assistant and was

     told he would support our efforts.

 

*  Website - Franco will need information from each program lead to create their page. 

     At minimum, he will need the program name,  program lead name and their contact

     information.  E-Teams offers a free service that each program can use to manage their

     own weather updates and cancellations.  This will be linked to the main website.  The

     idea was brought up to advertise the new website on the marquis in front of the school.

     Franco will also look into adding a link from the Harford County Website.  The new

     site is up and running www.northharfordrec.com.

 

THE NEXT MEETING WILL BE WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15TH.
