Savannah chili cook-off was well attended.
Suggestion to have another Under-Croft event. Tom Sawtelle is promoting memberships – perhaps a family night.
Also, perhaps a “Night at the Bowling Alley” at Lancasters.
5 Re: the Kayak Shed: The village approved putting a new shed near the boat launch. Would SPAN want to purchase it and be reimbursed? Mark said there are issues with that location. A discussion followed about the use of the old shed.
6 We need to finalize the issue of the lock for the shed. Mark pointed out the need for a deadbolt. Amy would like to fix it so that someone doesn’t always have to go there in person to unlock the shed. Maybe someone from the village board , or from the village police force, should be involved. More research is needed on this topic.
7 The village is receptive to the idea of having fishing spots. Mark suggested a level spot with zero maintenance. He will walk the area and take some pictures. Could we supply benches? Could we involve volunteers, the school fishing club? We could use a Bobcat to clear the area involved. Jen said we need a detailed proposal.
8 Tee shirts: We need to buy Tees for less than $10. apiece. If we add colors, the price goes up. Maybe look for local suppliers on line. Sandi Bastedo moved”...that SPAN spend up to one thousand dollars to buy tee shirts, hats in sizes M/L/XL/ and XXL”, seconded by Amy. Motion carried.
9 We need programs for next year. Bring your ideas to the January meeting, or sooner, send your ideas to Sandi.

11 Sandi announced that Cornell Extension is offering a free financial consultation service to those interested.
12 Hugh asked SPAN to sponsor an ad for the musical held on January 14/15, 2022.
Meeting adjourned at 8:03 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
