CORRESPONDENCE A corrected letter was received from Heritage Task approving a grant of up to $500. for picnic tables and charcoal braziers for Castle pOint as described in our application. DIRECTOR'S REPORT Mr. Reimer mentioned that if we do go with a Senior Citizen swim that Mr. Jones has a video with aqua aerobics which might be useful. Once the pool is open the only expense for this program would be the staff of 1 or 2 lifeguards. It was suggested that Mr. Mastroianni and Mrs. Roe check with the Senior Citizen Centers to see if there would be any interest. The Dutchess County Youth Bureau sent a memo on May lOth to Supervisor Paino that they were accepting applications for 1989 N.Y. State Division for Youth grants. They had a total of $20,000. aid available for youth development and delinquency prevention programs. Eligible programs included summer programs. Mr. Reimer put in an application for help with our swim program since we have had all the extra costs this year with getting the pool ready. To date we have not heard from them. Mr. Herman Osten has requested that the Town take over the use of the newly refinished tennis courts at the Wappinger Jr. High. Prior to this the School lawyer and the Attorney to the Town must draw up a contract for the approval of the Town Board. Tuesday, June 20th is the meeting with the summer staff. At this meeting a short first aide course will be given by Sloper Willen, payroll papers signed and staff shirts given out. Mr. Reimer read a rough draft of the job responsibilities. All agreed with this draft so these responsibilities will be typed up and given out to each summer employee at this meeting. It was questioned about a phone at Deer Hill and Quiet Acres for emergency purposes. It was suggested to call about prices for both. There might be a possibility that there might be a phone at Deer Hill we could use. Mr. Reimer mentioned that he prepared a half page ad for the paper similiar to the one in last year. It will also include the concert schedule.
