Secretary’s Report:

The minutes of the previous meeting (04 April 05) were read and accepted into the record with the following correction: under New Business #3 - the name of the museum is the Nature Museum, not the Water Museum.

  1. The balance in the Business (Operating) Fund is: $4507.18 as of 4/31/05 

Old Business

  1. Jeanne Kennedy reported that the Selectmen have responded to the Fire Report for Jones Hall/ Marlow Town Library. An electrician has been in to fix the unlit Exit sign, and the furnace room will be checked.

  2. Pat Strickland reported that she has applied for a grant from “Kids, Books, and the Arts” for a performance by “Alex the Jester”. The total cost of the performance and the workshop entitled “Fool School: How to Get People to Lighten Up” costs $630.05. The grant may cover all but $75.

  3. Jeanne Kennedy reported that Joe Feuer volunteered to call Bell Septic to find out when the last time the Library’s septic system was pumped out. Tony Davis will also be coming to check the toilet to see if it needs minor/major maintenance.

New Business:
