Recreation Committee Retreat In February the Recreation Committee asked J. Feudo to begin planning a retreat for the end of spring/ beginning of summer. J. Feudo stated that he was looking at June 18th as it is the last Saturday of the school year and most people have not left for vacation. The consensus of the Committee was that June 18th seemed to work well as a date for the retreat. J. Feudo stated that he has a former colleague that is willing to spend the day with the Committee to facilitate the retreat. He would be checking with her for her availability in June and will update the Committee in April. J. Feudo stated in subsequent meetings the committee would begin to outline topics that can be covered during the retreat.
