Approval of treasurer report for Nov

Pat said we did not get the final bill yet for the finish of the sidewalk.  Brittany said just send Parrish the rest.  Jessica said it is not finished.  Brittany said that is another conversation for a later date.  It is finished.  Miss communication between my husband and myself and the contractors.  Brittany's dad said he will eventually do the other section.

Update on any grants.

Wagner Foundation contacted Mellissa  with a tentative plan for upper park.  Received a call and they wanted a break down on separate items for up there for replacements.  The Wagner's would like to do the basketball court with us, but wanted us to go halves on it. 

Discussion was made on whether to asphalt or concrete the basketball court.  Lets table until January after we get the cost difference. 

E-mail came from Robert Shaw foundation . They still checking with the accounting dept. on the 501© 3 status question. 

Brittany asked if we returned the extra lights to Sam's club.  Helen Thompson contacted us and asked if we had any extra.  Pat said she returned 11 sets.  Brittany M and Brittany H.  discussed the total sets we used at the park.  They said Mellissa probably still has 1 set. 

Update on Santa visit.

Pat said we had 52 kids that day. We made $232 dollars from the sleigh rides.  Brittany said honestly it was better having it here at the Borough.

Brittany said we should do a light up night  next year and have a big Christmas tree. 

Pat said we also answered 46 Santa letters.  Each one was personal per the kids wish list.
