MINUTES: The minutes from the February meeting were distributed.

OLD BUSINESS:

1. KITCHEN REMODEL: Fern Thompson handed out proposed drawings of the storage room and the kitchen. Pippa moved and Maire seconded that Fern be project coordinator. The motion passed. Maire moved/ Pippa seconded that we hire Keith Emmons to draw up blueprints for the project. The trustees voted to hire Keith Emmons. Fern explained why she wanted to move the door three feet and why it was placed where it was on the original drawing. Fern moved/Pippa seconded that the door be moved three feet. It was so approved. A concern was voiced that the kitchen wall with the proposed two new windows in it be may not be strong enough. Fern will consult Keith about a sheer panel for that wall.
