SPRING CLEAN-UP: went well, poor attendance. First time on a Saturday and short notice. Grounds were cleaned, lawn cut. Huguette stained gazebo, Doug did inventory on dishes, numbers good. Ken cleaned gutters and replaced broken section. Should we consider setting date for clean-up prior to AGM next year?

Well Progress: No news from Tannis to date but confidence is high the new well will be drilled this year.

Accoustics: Andrew got 2 quotes from Eon recording, attached, Andrew thinks 2nd quote with fabric covered fibreglass will be most suitable. A discount is offered if we provide helpers, we’ll see who is available when the time comes. Terri moves to accept quote 2, Ken 2nd.

Burger Night: Set for June 15, discussed whether we should change hall functions if there is a conflict with a rental. Depends if the community event has been advertised.
