4 A discussion of
the August 6th
Route #31 garage sale ensued. Such questions as to who’s running it
and what should be SPAN’s role were discussed. It was agreed that
we would purchase some large lawn signs at $124. apiece. Advertising
was discussed and the use of the village robo call system. Also
discussed was the possible renting of spaces at the corner of Glasgow
and Ford. We might dedicate the fees to the playground fund. Upon
reflection. SPAN decided to stay with the usual sidewalk sales
including the SPAN office location.
Kelly Farrell showed
us her project to develop some maps of the locality of the Erie Canal
camp site and environs to include points of interest such as Savannah
Dhu. Several SPAN members agreed to work with her on the project.
Art in the
community. Steve Moore is working on the spaghetti and art project
for July 27th
in conjunction with Papa’s Place,
Hugh Miner talked
about the Lauraville Loop Campsite. It is progressing nicely. Perhaps
some SPAN volunteers may need to keep the vegetation in check. We
could use another truckload of mulch. The sight was explored by some
citizens. There is need of a siding platform near the ditch for
boaters. We would like to locate an area to fish from the bank and
benches for an outlook. There are still some stumps the need to be
removed or to be cut at ground level.
On the 25th,
the Galen Historical Society will join us at Lauraville . The
Clyde-Savannah Community Band will play, the Historical Society will
host a presentation on the Underground Railroad and our Greater
Rochester Health Foundation Evaluators will present their findings
from the SOAR Health Survey that went out to residents earlier this
year. We will end the night with a walk to the newly created
camping area on the Lauraville Loop and SPAN will provide a yummy
treat for all.
Hugh reported that
the 100 cups are at the SPAN office together with the decals which
are ready to be applied. There are 3 or 4 different designs. They
will be ready to sell by August 6th.
Hugh also reported
that the barbershop quartet is now in Nashville. We are aiming for an
August 21st
concert.
Sandi reported that
the village’s intent to apply for a Main Street Grant would need
from SPAN and SOAR a letter of commitment. President Tom Castellano
signed the document for SPAN at this meeting.
There was a
discussion of the upcoming August 15th
celebration.
