General Business
A lot of tree damage in Laurel Hill from Tropical Storm Irene, a small amount in Forest Glen.
It took 4 days to cleanup.
The cannon for Forest Glen Veterans' Section was discussed and the Board felt it was not
appropriate at this time.
Bob spoke on the building maintenance and the Board felt that we should not pursue the issue
until after the new building.
Bob gave the Board an update on the funding for a new building; plans are proposed to be
funded in FY13 and the building in FY14. The Board expressed concerns that something else
maybe given a higher priority.
Bob noted that vandals tore off the steel doors at the Laurel Hill tomb; he also spoke of the cost
to use it as a depository for urns and that most urns are placed on existing graves.
