Other suggestions were local grocery stores and Walmart, and already scheduled family events such as Art Soup, or the 4th of July Fest at Lake Orono as opportunities to distribute flyers. Bill suggested this might be a task for the Communication Committee. Communications Ed reported that in order to better address items that come up during the general Board meetings Next meeting is June Committee the Communication Committee has decided to meet a one week after the board meets. Their next 19, 2003 Ed Stoutenburg meeting is June 19. Distribution of flyers will be added to their agenda. One possibility may be the Community Education building. Public Relations Bill stated that the PR Committee has also changed its schedule. No report for today. Steering Committee The Steering Committee has had limited success in recruitment. We need to expand the circle Ron Touchette we're looking at in order to draw more people to the steering committee. This is a grass roots venture. We definitely need many more volunteers.
