The meeting was called to order at 7:35 p.m. by Chairman Ralph J. Holt. Others present were Senior Citizen Director Kathi DeLisa, Recreation Director Bernie Reimer, Commission Members Ronald Friesman,' Joseph Ennesser, Ellen Korz, and Stephen Miller. Henry Provost, President of the Town of Wappinger Little League was also in attendance. The minutes of the November 9, 1993 meeting were approved on a motion by Mr. Miller seconded by Mr. Ennesser with all in favor. CORRESPONDENCE A copy of a letter addressed to Supervisor Smith from the Dutchess County Youth Bureau was forwarded to us for our information. This letter was in regard to the approval of the 1994 Youth Development/Delinquency Program funds in the amount of $6,987. A letter was received from Lt. Colonel Erank G. Dubuy of West POint confirming our request for a performance of the West Point Band on April 15, 1994. The concert is scheduled to be held at Roy C. Ketcham High School. Mr. Reimer has already made all necessary arrangements with the school. We still have to determine whether we will be providing a meal for the band. That will be answered at a later date - closer to concert time. A letter was received from the Wappinger Jr. High to cancel our December 8th and January 26th program at the school due to school functions on those dates. A second letter was received from Jerry Husted, of the Wappinger Jr. High stating that the Physical Education teachers were scheduling their gymnastics program during the month of March. Therefore, it is necessary to cancel the use of the gym during that month to all outside organizations. Mr. Reimer and Mr. Holt suggested going to the school to discuss this with Mr. Husted and maybe we could use half a gym. A suggestion was also brought up to check into using Grand Slam facilities for that month. Mr. Reimer was asked to check out the cost for it's use. If it is too much we will forget it. A letter was received from Jim Hinek, Babe Ruth Coordinator for Eastern New York State. This letter was given to Henry Provost, Pres. of Little League. Mr. Miller noted that since we are part of the Little League Organization, he didn't think the Board would want to play Babe Ruth Baseball. . ' Recreation Minutes December 14, 1993 Page 2 A letter was received from The Bank of New York stating that they were unable to support our 1993 Christmas Party for Seniors. A letter was received from the Wappingers Falls Rotary Club stating that they were unable to support our request for help for our Senior Christmas Party at the Elks Club. Mr. Holt mentioned that the party was a great success and thanked Mrs. DeLisa and Mrs. Roe for all their work. He said that he went to the Fishkill Senior's party and felt that ours was better if only that we had real turkey and potatoes and they served turkey roll and instant potatoes. He also noted that they get a lot of support from their service organizations. SENIOR CITIZEN REPORT Mrs. DeLisa handed out a report on the Senior Citizen activities for the month of November. The report is attached to these minutes. She also mentioned that Chase has a grant to apply for in January which is not for a capital improvement. If anyone has any ideas, please let her know. The windows have been installed in the new center addition and we have been getting quotes for the blinds. We have also been asked by Supervisor Smith to get prices on refrigerators. DIRECTOR'S REPORT Mr. Reimer has started to put together the year end report. Two programs for boys and girls ages 7 - 12 will start in January. The basketball program will be run again by Scott Silverstein and as he did for the summer program he will divide the children into 2 groups ages 7 - 9 and 10 - 12. He finds that this provides a much better program. The starting date for this will be January 15th. The gymnastic program is scheduled for the Myers Corners School. Art Goldner and Brenda Peura have agreed to run this program which will start on January 8th. Mr. Reimer asked Mr. Holt about the Radio City Music Hall show and was told that it was a super day. The show was great and the time in the City to see the decorations etc was enough. Mr. Reimer asked whether we should stick with a weekday if we do this again next year or go on a weekend which would be more expensive. It was decided to do the same as this year. .

Rec. & Park Association CHAIRMAN'S REPORT Mr. Holt reported that Mr. Humeston was out to Airport Park today to put in the swale down the left side of the Park. He also mentioned that soccer brought in their check for $3,000. to put toward the cost of the new fence that A-l Fence Company will be installing. Two Community Development grants were filled out today. The first was for rest rooms at Castle POint and well for $53,000. and the second for fencing work at 1. Airport Park, 2. to enclose the Barn, and 3. to enclose the kiddie equipment at Martz Field. The Christmas Party attendance was down from last year with approximately 250 attending. A lot was due to the weather related cancellation the previous week. The new building at the barn is up and looks good. We have received 2 estimates for doors for the building. We will be going to the Town Board to request a P.O. to install them. We have the money in our A-7110.4 account with which we were going to do the Spook Hill blacktop which we were unable to do because of weather. A discussion took place regarding the returning of the Heritage Grant because we have not received the lease on the beachfront property at Chelsea. It was suggested we send a letter to see if we ~ancarry it over until 1994. Mr. Frideman asked if this grant was based on a fiscal year or a calendar year. We will check on this. . . . . Recreation Minutes December 14, 1993 Page 4 Mr. Holt mentioned that the Town Board had a problem with us charging a $500. up front fee for large groups to use our facilities. The Town Board has asked us to supply them with actual costs to clean up/fix up the areas after these functions. He. Holt said that he would speak with Mr. Vorndran further regarding this. This has been a busy year and we have accomplished a lot. Thanks to everyone for all their support. The meeting was adjourned at 8:40 on a motion by Mr. Friedman seconded by Mr. Miller.

Friday,. Dec. 3rd at Noon, we will kick off the holiday season with our Christmas luncheon at Villa Borghese. Reservations for this were due no later than Nov. 23rd. By the look of the list, I think all who want to go signed up. So get on your bells and bows and get ready for a special time. Just a few days later, on Tues., Dec. 7 there will be a Christmas dinner sponsored by The Town of Wappinger Recreation in conjunction with the Wapp~nger's Elks Lodge and supported through donations given by local businesses and professionals for Wappinger Seniors. You must have your reservation and ticket to attend this function. Each person will be given a name tag before you enter the dining room. (Then everyone will know who you are! Personally, I need one in case I forget who I am!) There will be good food, entertainment and a good time for all. PLEASE NOTE: DOORS WILL NOT OPEN UNTIL 12:30! Myers Corners Elementary School PTA has invited Wappinger Seniors to a Holiday Breakfast on Wed., Dec. 15 at 8:00 a.m. You must sign up with me no later than Nov. 29. if YOU would like to attend. We will be served by the 5th Grade students and entertained with some songs and music. So let's support their generous offer. It is certainly a nice way to begin a day. After, we will go to the Center for our regular activities. Now, amid all these parties, food and entertainment, I am told the Expansion will be complete. However, there still is no definite date. As soon as I know, you will know. In .the meantime, please be prepared that sometime in December, the Center may be closed to enable Regina, Sue and I to move everything back and get reorganized. Well, we'll try to reorganize anyway. This will not effect any parties except maybe our birthday party. The good news is it won't be long now and you'll be back "home." --, .- Because of the uncertain plans and dates for moving back to Town Hall, our annual Christmas party at the Center is not possible. There is a lot of planning and advanced ordering that goes into this type of party. Because of the uncertainty at this time, I feel it is best to make other arrangements. So, if we are still at Schlathaus, instead of one big party, we will have a series of little parties. Beginning Thurs., Dec. 16 there will be snacks and "goodies" for us to enjoy throuhout the day. If you would like to bring cookies or holiday treat to shar~ with all at this time, please feel free to do so. We'll just party for a week. Of course, if we are closed due to moving back, this will not occur. A big thank you and hug to Kay Andrews for making and donating the beautiful decorated fall basket for a raffle. The basket was won by Pauline Sherbak at our Thanksgiving Luncheon. Congratulations Pauline! Blood pressure screening has been cancelled this month. Diana from the Office of the Aging will be at Schlathaus on Dec. 9 at 11:00 a.m. Our birthday partY.fwill be on Wed., Dec. 29. We need 3 birthday cakes, please let me know if you will bring one. Beginning next year (1994) there will be a change in the birthday party procedure. It has been suggested that those who have a birthday in the month should bring the cake. This will eliminate the same people always getting "stuck" bringing the birthday cakes. Our two students from Dutchess Community College, Karen Barone and Loretta Mygan will be leaving us. Loretta's last day will be Thurs. Dec. 9 and Karen's last day will be Fri. Dec. 10. They have brought us some interesting projects and games and have certainly brought us their youth and enthusiasm. I am sure they would appreciate your comments on their performance and activities. Both have also been helpful Regina, Sue and me. It has been a pleasure to have both Loretta and Karen with us. The Lions Club needs old eyeglasses or hearing aids. These are used for those less fortunate. So if you have any you no longer want or need bring them to the Center. I will see to it that they are given to the Lions Club. For those paying dues by the month, December dues is $2.00. Don't forget the COMPLAINT JAR! DROP YOUR QUARTERS IN! A very Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday to all of you!!!! And a big hug too!! !!!
