Committees:

Budget & Finance: We have the resources to draft a budget for 2011 that will not require an increase in assessment, and therefore will not need a public vote – just like we did in 2009.  In view of the economic conditions, we will do so.

Garden: Phase II, the children’s garden will be a raised bed, four-square garden.

Personnel:  Barbara Schott will start treatment next week.  Because she may need them, Lisa will propose to the staff a communal “sick day pool”, as we have done in the past.  We all hope for Barbara’s quick recovery.
