The following letter was received from the Chelsea Fire

Dear Slr: The Chelsea Board of Fire Commissioner has
requested that a meeting be set up at your earliest
convenience in regard to using the School grounds for your
Summer program. Due to circumstances beyond our control, a
discussion is necessary to clarify the situation.
Please notify us as soon as possible when a
meeting can take place. Almost any week-night will be
agreeable. Thank you.
Since\-ely your.s,
John G. Todd, Secretary
Board of Fire Commissioners
Mr. Reimer and Mr. Holt met with the Commissioners and
they mentioned that they are getting a new truck and will be
moving the present offices new in the Firehouse to the
Schoolhouse. We, therefore, will not have access to the

building for our summer program. They mentioned that we
could still have the program using their grounds and that
they would provide an outside water line and phone line.
They would also provide storage for our supplies. We would
have to provide a porta john.
Mr. Mastroianni suggested that we look into the Churches
in the area to see about their accomodating us. This will be

The Red Cross has been called regarding a First Aid
Course for our Directors and Aides and they said that they
would not come here but that we would have to attend one of
their regular sessions in Poughkeepsie. A suggestin was made
to contact Sloper to see if they would be willing to give a
short course at our Town Hall. Mr. Reimer will contact
Rosemary Summers. If something can be arranged the Town
Board could be invited to meet the employees at that time and

Jennifer Jacobs has been hired again for this Summer"s
Tennis Director. Last year"s Swim Director Jane Peressini
did not get re-certified so we are still looking for someone
to fill that position.
Mr. Reimer spoke with the secretary at Deer Hill
regarding the large increase for use of their facilities for
our Swim Program and was told that it was mainly due to the
increase in their insurance. It was decided to accept the
cClntract as is.
Six out of eight concerts have been filled and a list
will be given out shortly. Mr. Reimer is working on getting
a group called Flashback.

The League will be starting May 1st. Bob Drennan spoke
with John Vorndran about working on the field at Rockingham
and John said he has already taken 7 loads of clay over and
will rake it. The League has also asked permission to place
benches in cement behind the fence line. There was some
concern about putting pressure treated benches there because
the kids just burn them. After a discussion, Mr. Holt made a
motion to let them get the benches seconded by Mr. Wood. All
were in favor. It was also requested that if they spend
money we should be notified regarding the amount. They also
requested bleachers and we noted that this area has been bad
for vandalism and we will see what we can do.

Mr. Wood asked about the kids to line the fields. He
mentioned that the money was put in regular maintenance line
so the kids could also work for Mr. Vorndran cleaning up the
parks and trimming etc. We are still looking for some boys
and since some of the College boys are not home from College
we haven't had any luck. Mr. Reimer will check the
applications that we received for Summer Playground
employment to see if possible one of them might be
interested.
Mr. Wood mentioned that we have 7 line markers repaired
and ready to use. Six are at Robinson Lane and the other one
is in the Barn.
