Meeting called to order at 5:33 PM

Director’s report: Still trying to juggle cleaners’ schedule, basically 3 people/day. Still have things going on in building. Someone from Loran is willing to install FRP in surgery room for free. The old nursery runs were not in the contractors’ scope of work to reinstall and there are issues with the plumbing. There is no easy way to plumb the existing situation. Anne will check into how much it will cost to make the nursery habitable. Alyssia’s wedding is Sept. 3, so may need to change hours that weekend. Need a part time tech or tech assistant to help Alyssia! Fall workshops are planned for Community room.
