New Business

*  Fallston was awarded $6 million for their Rec. Council.  A suggestion was made to invite Joe Pfaff to our fields to take a tour so that he can see first hand the shape our fields are in and what our needs are.  Mike also suggested that we try and partner with another organization such as the Office on Aging in order to possibly get better results for our requests.  Also, a small meeting with Joe and Chad Shrodes may be an effective way to express our needs.

*  The website needs updated with contact info.  Please forward your information to Bob Astarita. 

*  Boy’s Basketball is looking for a new chairperson.

THE NEXT MEETING WILL BE WEDNESDAY, Nov. 19^th, at 7:00PM at the NHES Parks & Rec. Office.
