OLD BUSINESS
ANNUAL DINNER: Board was notified that the schools would not be able to
supply place mats for the Annual Dinner. Also, no word had been received
from Jon Asgeirsson about providing entertainment during dinner. After
discussion, it was decided to have door prizes and drawings, as the seniors
look forward to this. A suggestion was made to play tapes, in lieu of live
music.
PERSONNEL: After much discussion about Board Member John Montgomery not
attending any Board meetings, a motion was MADE, SECONDED and VOTED that
Rheta write a letter to the Selectmen outlining the chronology of events
leading up to the Board's decision, asking that they drop him....
Aloyse also brought up the fact that Volunteers, some who have faithfully
worked for the Council on Aging for over 10 years, felt they should have
some privileges, such as tickets for some of the affairs going on, but it
was decided to leave the distribution of tickets as VOTED on 9/15/86 and -
see what happens.
NEW BUSINESS

ORGANIZATIONS:

should be maintained for at least 6 months ahead. It was decided that Rheta

was MADE, SECONDED and VOTED to allow the Council on Aging to be a clearing
house for coming events for older citizens.

community (medical, dental, legal, churches) explaining our role in the
community and what our services are.
It was brought out that the Town of Reading wasn't mentioned in the brochure
and neither was our Associate Member, Loretta Spaulding, who faithfully
attends all Board Meetings. Dick promised that next printing will correct
this and emphasized that it was an unintentional oversight.
