Every child planted a bean in a plastic bag with a moist paper towel . Milo event went well. Greenville was cancelled due to lack of facilitator due to illness.<\/li>\n
  2. One Tomato \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Project requires #400 tomato plants , around June 1. There will be reduced number of venues, and more plants distributed at the Black Fly Festival in Milo.

  4. Sedo School Garden improvements\u00a0\u00a0 Discussion of what improvements needed to be made to the Sedo garden, specifically moving the perimeter fence, which is currently too close to the beds. George (and Richard, in absentia, without his knowledge) volunteered to move the fence. Suggestions made to change fencing to a more sturdy metal posts and wire mesh, with enhancements to deter deer. An estimate of expenses for this upgrade will be made and considered next meeting.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Executive Committee transition:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 With Walter\u2019s departure from the position and the need to elect a person \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 to fill it, the key functions and duties of the Executive Director were discussed. None of the \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 attending committee members were eager to fill those shoes! It was decided that if one person \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 volunteered to take on the responsibilities for a period of 3 months, we might be able to have a \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 rotating position and the daunting prospect of a full term be lessened. With this in mind, Beth agreed \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 to act as President for the next three months. We are anticipating that Amanda will be willing to assist \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 in secretarial duties such as agenda distribution, e mailing reports, etc, although a recording Secretary \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 for the \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 meetings will be required.<\/p>\n

        A plan was made to re-elect those Committee members whose terms are expiring in 2017 at the \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 October meeting.<\/p>\n

        Meeting adjourned: 4:37 pm<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Next meeting: May 8, 2017 3 pm<\/p>\n
