They will award the bid to $261,000. We will require getting the work done
by the end of June. Scaffolding will go up; Mr. Page has certain restrictions
on the scaffolding and they will work on those restrictions. Mr. Dunn is
happy with the bid. This is part of the $50,000 Mass. Historical Society
Grant. The deadline is June 30. The roof dormer is mid section of second
floor; we look to be in good shape.
Time -Line for New Maintenance Building
We paid for site survey; we got the plans; now we have to put them into
format for a bid. Central registration needs to know it is out for bid. The
normal bid span is two weeks; we have increased that to four weeks. We
will then review bids. Then we will do site work while ordering supplies.
Dick McNeil has taken on the job of Project Manager.
Mr. Murphy will be back in town by next week.
Mr. Dunn also indicated that any interior projects still need to be addressed
with the Mass. Historical Society.

of members. He has thus far collected $122,000 in deposits. He has 170
members and expects 230 to 240 this year and he is not counting the junior

paint the fences and will submit a proposal to do so at the next meeting.

covers. Hoping to have 9 holes open by 3/25.
