The meeting was called to order at 6:03 p.m.  Those attending were Larry, Ann, Paula, Brian, Tom B, Tina, Don, skip, Greg, John, Mike, and Joni.

WINTER FEAST –

          This went quite well.  Had good volunteers.  Not a lot of leftovers. Had bread pudding, Cranberry Cake & Butter Sauce left over.  The dishwasher worked okay.  There was some discussion about this.  We have a deer in the freezer.  Next year tickets will be $25 & $30.  Beavers sold 18 tickets, 22 were sold at Family Natural Foods and 4 at Daly’s.  10 – 11 members and some tickets were sold at the door.  Next year, we will have to sell more tickets.

SUGAR BUSH –

          The house will not be open for this event.  Pancakes will be in the Bunkhouse.  Can have cider too.  Joni will cook pancakes and Don will cook sap.  Tom W. will hand out sap samples.  Skip will be in the barn.  Barb, Kathy & Paula will be in the school.  Maybe have Leah in the school also.  Ticket Booth will be on the road.  Brian will bring the money.  Larry will bring the heater for the gate.  Venison stew will be available for the staff in the cabin.

CAMPFIRE COOKING –

          Posters are done.  No one has signed up yet.  Paula will make a list for Tom B. of people once they sign up.  Will see if we can cook in the house by then.  Everything will be pretty much the same as last year.  There will be parking for the people in the class, but the gate will be shut due to the Scouting Event.  All is prepared.

          Will start set up on Friday and complete it on Saturday.  Need to get ahold of Crockett Septic for Port-A-Potties.  Skip will find out who is paying for this.  The bathrooms in the school will be open.  Mike ordered the Water Buffalo and will check on this. 

SCOUTS CAMPING –

          This is set for the 26th and 27th.  There will be about 70 kids. 

GIRL SCOUTS –

          Paula said some options we can have are touring the buildings, hiking,

 and geocaching.  This will help them earn badges.

HOUSE –

          Don discussed the backfilling on the house.  It’s going slower than expected. 

Taking tomorrow off because of the weather coming in.  The house/construction site will be roped off for Sugar Bush. 

          We are getting a date and are looking to paint the siding by mid-April.  We can take the siding off and save it for the summer kitchen.  We need to spray boron on the siding.  No timeline yet to put the stone on the base of the house. 

TOWN HALL –

          Rafters and walls are up.  The roof will be on later this week or next.  The site is very muddy – please don’t drive on the lawn for events.  Linda Weeg will be changing the School Bulletin Board for Sugar Bush

SCHOOL GROUPS –

We already have 7 groups and still expecting more.  Greg, Skip, Don, and Johan can help with the groups; Linda Weeg is in question due to family matters.  Can talk to John Hoffman to help.  Trying not to have groups before May 1st. 

SEWING GROUP –

Suggestion to make tags for HPB to put on the potholders to sell.

Mike made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Tom.  Motion carried.  The meeting adjourned at 7:15

Respectfully Submitted,

Joni Wolf, Secretary
