| Old Business | New Library: no news. Plant Sale: This was held May 22, was great fun, and raised $396.55 + $40 from dues + 2 new members joined. Town Centennial may take place 9/18 – 9/25. | We may make the plant sale an annual event. Some ideas were raised: renew the gardens in front of the Library next spring and/or transfer it to the new location + save some plants for next year’s plant sale. Make a Community Garden at the new location. We will have a book sale then. |
