Maureen let the board know that we have a fireman that is willing to help out Mark by doing the anti seize on the hydrants that Dale had started before getting injured.  He also said that if the board wanted he would take on the job of doing the lawn mowing at the sewer plant and around until Dale can return to work.  

New Business:  The board decided to ask Alicia Sharp if she would serve on the Scholarship Committee this year to represent the Prudential Committee.  I did check with her the next morning and she agreed.
