Ray had taken the lead on this item and will wait until he gets <br /> back. Gina had helped to water the climate barrel last year, but gave up her own barrel this <br /> year. <br /> Minutes from 3-22-17 were accepted with one correction (3-0-0). <br /> Earth Day — April 22 at Parker Middle School: <br /> • It went well, people who came really appreciated, learned a lot; those who stopped by <br /> our table seemed really interested. <br /> • The auto suppliers went out of their way to come. Maybe write letter to the editor <br /> acknowledging individual dealerships. <br /> • Bigger than last year, better location but soccer game was a bit of a problem with <br /> parking. <br /> • For publicity, this year was the best. The signs, several articles, the Chronicle featured it <br /> several times, it was on the Patch, the website, several businesses (all the HS and <br /> Parker science teachers got one or more emails inviting, one Parker teacher gave <br /> students extra credit). Green Sense articles on several topics leading up were helpful. <br /> • 34 signed up for the bag ban, maybe 8 said 'no thanks'. <br /> • Doyons already wrote back after the "thank you" note about coming back next year. <br /> Dave will send a particular thank you to the school, and Mark Mahoney was very helpful. <br /> • Ideas for getting a head count, such as handing out the vendor list to each attendee <br /> • T-Shirts or something to identify us? <br /> • Attendee noted they saw the sign on the easel; saw signs where needed, so it was easy <br /> to see and get there. <br /> • Selectmen Barry Berman attended. Nice to see the Board represented. <br /> Page 1 1 emrmm <br />
