Members present: Meghan, Kelsey, Ellen, and Uriel.

There being no new agenda items we went to updates.

  • Yoga is going strong with Lindsey.
  • Fiber arts is thriving and Megan will send a note to the school to include kids in the fiber arts. There will be a special session in late November to make stockings for the Grange.
  • Spanish conversation will get restarted Martina will do the second Sunday of the month. Ragan will refresh poster.
  • American Sign Language will be the first Sunday at 3 o’clock at the library, Meghan will put out notices to school. Kelsey will be at that first meeting.
  • The walking group still meets on Saturday mornings.
  • There have been two sessions of meditation, the first one had five people and the second one had nobody! Megan will connect with those five with the thought of maybe changing to Thursdays at 4 o’clock or 5 o’clock but for now we’re committed to this pilot.
  • The talent show raised $793 half of which is going to the Guilford food stipend program and half going to Guildford cares. Uriel is hoping to have another talent show next summer.
  • There are five people on the Rec commission as of now and the select board suggests we get more volunteers.
    When asked how people would be willing to help out Ellen offered to help out with fiber arts. Kelsey is happy to help with grunt work for any events. Uriel is willing to help with stuff within his skill set using his artist role, although right now he is quite busy. Meghan is working on the annual report the budget and Gazette submissions.
  • Amber at the library needs help with Halloween festivities on Saturday, October 31. Ellen offered face painting and general assistance.
  • Andrea Butler emailed from “building a positive community Windham county prevention partnership“ and would like to collaborate with us in some capacity. Meghan will include her in emails.
  • We have requested $500 for our budget as usual but we have about $4000 to work with for making an impactful gift to the community. Perhaps signage for busy roads to give bikes 3 feet of space?
  • Uriel is planning the festival of lights again this year for January 9 with a theme of waterways.

Meeting adjourned 5:47pm
