Bob noted that he will retire on June 2, 2017. Bob also noted that he has asked Facilities to paint
the building and install a new door. Maintenance has not been kept up in anticipation, of a new
building, now that it seems this will not happen for several years. The Board agrees that at least
the men should have a clean place to eat and work.
Bob noted that the number of interments, be they full burials or cremations, are down from years
past to 120-125. The Board felt this is in part due to only allowing present residents to purchase
lots and the increase in cremations. This should extend the "life" of Wood End and Charles
Lawn.
Mary Vincent stated again that she also will be resigning from the Board to move to New
Hampshire with her family and that will leave a vacancy.
