Denial letters were mailed 12/19/16, so <br /> approval letters will be sent out via email with return receipt feature. Mary Ann will prepare <br /> a press release. <br /> Donna brought up the topic of members'terms. Nancy, Donna and Rosemary will complete <br /> their terms the end of June, 2017 and can renew. They all stated they planned to do so. <br /> Our Town Survey Is scheduled for this spring. Nancy will formulate a draft and distribute. <br /> Donna has a copy of the last survey to review for ideas. There was discussion about how to <br /> market the survey. Ideas included emailing to our data base, having the survey available at <br /> Town Meeting—it was unclear if this would be allowed. It was suggested to have the survey <br /> available at Town Day in the fall, which would necessitate keeping the period to collect the <br /> survey results open until the fall. Mary Ann will talk to John Fudo about promo and a link <br /> for the survey in the Reading Recreation Catalogue and the Your Community Connection <br /> publication. Another suggestion was to have the survey available at school events and at <br /> the Senior Center. At the next meeting we will finalize these plans. <br /> The 2017 Commonwealth Awards will be presented February 15, 2017 at 2:00 pm. Donna <br /> will circulate information about It ceremony. Members are invited to attend. <br /> Discussion turned to the idea of applying for a local council grant from the MCC to produce a <br /> new video about the RCC. It was suggested that we approach Phil Rushworth at RCTV <br />
