Topics of Discussion:
The meeting was called to order by Donna Schenkel at 7:02 pm in the Arts and Crafts Room
of the Pleasant Street Senior Center.
Minutes of the previous meeting were approved with corrections.
There was no change in the Treasurer's report since December, 2016.
Publicity and Survey:
There was discussion about the Ad for the Reading Rec Catalogue. We could include a link to
our survey in that ad. Additionally, the link could be added in the Your Community
Connection publication and the Reading Rec website. Other Ideas Included a poster near the
Library's computers to direct town residents to take the survey. Donna will check with the
Library about whether they would allow that.
Nancy has a call in to the Town Hall about survey tools the town has that we may be able to
use, such as Survey Monkey, etc. She did some research about various survey applications
that are free. Survey Monkey limits the free version to 10 questions and 100 respondants.
Google forms is unlimited. Two others were Typeform and Formstack.
Discussion turned to the content of the survey. We reviewed the one used last time, and
members contributed feedback for some changes and additions. Nancy will summarize and
formulate a draft that we will approve at the next meeting. Survey responses will be
accepted through September, 2017.
Donna mentioned the next Ivy Chord concert is Apr118, 2017.
Members were asked to consider whether we need a Logo for our local council. Donna will
research what other towns have and we will discuss at the next meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 8:05 pm.
