She <br /> has served for five years and also volunteers on the School Council and Scholarship <br /> Foundation. Current efforts for the COA include plans to reopen the Pleasant Street Center, <br /> hiring the new Elder/Human Services Administrator, and conducting an assessment for a <br /> new senior center. <br /> Ron Weston is a current member of the Historical Commission seeking reappointment as an <br /> Associate member. He has served on the Commission for six years, with two years serving <br /> as Chair. He stated that he has been feeling a little burned out and was finding it difficult to <br /> fully participate in meetings due to a long-term hearing issue. His master plan is to back <br /> away from a full role and give younger members a chance to step up and carry on. Current <br /> Associate member, Amelia Freedman, is ready to fill the full member seat. <br /> Brian Healy is a new applicant for the Board of Health. He has lived in Reading for 13 years <br /> and works as a Biostatistician at Mass General Hospital. As these are unprecedented times, <br /> he applied because he hoped there is something he could do to help and translate <br /> information in a useful way. The time commitment is a concern because his wife also works <br /> and he has to watch his three children. <br /> Jeffrey Lamson is a new applicant for the Town Forest Committee. He has lived in Reading <br /> since he was in the third grade. He is interested in joining the Committee because he has <br /> been a user of Town Forest by trail running with his dog and walking with the Boy Scouts. <br /> Brian Scouten is a new applicant for the Town Forest Committee. Having grown up in <br /> Reading, he has spent a lot of time hiking and engaging in other activities in the Town <br /> Forest. He is also active with the Reading Garden Club, Memorial Day and Veterans Day <br /> Page 1 1 <br />
