The HPCC Board was unable to meet in December and January because of the weather. Two meetings were scheduled in February, as there was a lot of business on the agenda that needed to be addressed and we needed more time to cover all of it. The meeting days were also changed in February and March to accommodate the treasurer’s teaching schedule this term. The time and place of meetings remain the same – 6pm at the Community Center.
February and March board meetings:
Feb. 2 Thursday
Feb. 22 Thursday
Mar. 21 Thursday
We will return to the regular meeting schedule starting in April – the 3rd Monday of each month.
Business we’ve discussed so far:
• It’s a new year, and committees have been formed to review the by-laws and the building rental agreement.
• The board reviewed the financial report relating to 2023 fund-raising events, and the results of a public opinion poll that was sent out to the community in December to give input on what events community members would like have HPCC continue.
• The board decided the events it would sponsor – and that each event would happen only if someone would agree to coordinate the project. See the article elsewhere in this issue, A Place Called Home, by Erin Hartford.
• The board is working on a calendar of meetings and dates for events (assuming there are coordinators).
• We are also moving forward with the HPCC Upgrade Project to Enhance Emergency Preparedness at the Struck Road Firehall and Community Center. This project was funded by a state Capital Budget grant, and it takes time as we go through the process.
Don’t forget – TOGETHER WE ARE COMMUNITY STRONG.
