6. OLD BUSINESS:
Arbor Day Celebration
Marsha Fusco updated everyone on the status of Arbor Day. The art contest seems to
be going well. It was decided that Mary Bennett will pick up the entries from the schools.
This needs to be done before Thursday, 3/24/05, because of Spring Break at the
schools. Charles Cardinale and Lynn Albury will judge the art contest. It was brought up
that having two board members meet to discuss board business would be a Sunshine
violation. Then it was noted that Charles Cardinale was no longer an official board
member, so there would be no violation.
