Playfield on Helen Drive. Those attending were Mrs. Ellen Korz, Spokes-
woman, Mr. Martin Crawford, Mr. & Mrs. Stephen Tacopina, Mrs. Pampalone,
Mrs. Bowe, and Mrs. McDonald.
Some of their requests were:
To have the Town Patrol check more frequently and try and
alleviate vandalism. Mr. Johnson said he would look into
this as this is a public safety concern.
Have a gate put up at the top of the hill to discourage
the older kids from going down in the park after hours and
have the brush cleaned up around the entrance so you can
see it.
At the satallite playfield the kids don't have a table to
do their crafts on and the children were, discouraged with
. trying to color on the grass. Possibly get us more supplies.
They were willing to store the supplies at someone's homeo
It was felt that if there was something more to do maybe more
kids would utilize it. Possibly try an all-day playfie1= next
year.

person to do the program that it be re-instated. All were in favor. Mrs.
Schmalz will get with Mr. Ennesser about this.
