OLD BUSINESS
A. Discuss Earth Day 2014 Date
Chairperson Graves began the discussion saying that she felt the Easter Egg Hunt and
Kids Hooked on Fishing scheduled for April 19th would take away from Earth Day and
they should go with April 26th. The rest of the Board Members agreed except for Mr.
Gordian who preferred the 19th because of the crowd the three events would draw. On
April 19th on the Park's marquee, Mr. Northcott suggested posting, "Earth Day is next
week."
The Planner said she would check if the shredding event could be held at the same time
in the CAVCORP parking lot on April 26th.
It was the consensus of the Board to reserve the park and stage in years to come on the
Saturday closest to Earth Day.
