Trustees have agreed to provide funds for repairs and improvements to St. John’s Meetinghouse, the Dresden Recreation Committee heard on Dec. 4.
Committee members discussed potential uses for the Meetinghouse. Paul Tunkle suggested holding an All Saints’ remembrance at Blinn Hill Cemetery in November; offering weddings at the Meetinghouse followed by receptions at the Pownalborough Courthouse (committee members noted that the Meetinghouse’s lack of a center aisle can deter some brides); and holding animal blessing events. Shannon met with Peter Walsh about possible collaborative efforts with the Lincoln County Historical Association to support the building’s upkeep and programming.
The trustees’ commitment to provide funds was recorded in the meeting notes; the minutes do not list the trustees by name or record a formal vote by the trustees in this session. Committee members discussed potential programming and partnerships but did not record a formal decision to alter the building’s uses or schedule events.
