Pownal Recreation Committee requests $500 in town budget; Dewitt Room rental, FCS partnership and Boston trip idea discussed
Summary
At its Feb. 5 meeting the Pownal Recreation Committee reviewed a $2,642.09 ledger balance, agreed to request $500 in the town budget, discussed new Dewitt Room rental rules including a $100 AV removal fee, and explored partnering with FCS and a possible field trip to Boston.
Kathleen Hogue, meeting secretary for the Pownal Recreation Committee, reviewed the ledger balance of $2,642.09 and told members the committee will request $500 from the town in this year’s budget; the committee scheduled its budget presentation for Feb. 24.
Kathy (Kathleen) Hogue reported the Dewitt Room is now available for rent. The minutes say renters would pay the normal room fee plus a $100 IT fee to have AV equipment removed; the IT staff requires 10 days' notice to perform the work. The committee agreed to reserve the Dewitt Room 10 days prior to both Community Day and the Pumpkin Festival as a contingency for bad weather.
Kathy Hogue relayed that Becky Taylor‑Chaise had spoken with Family & Community Services Executive Director Sarah Lundin about increasing FCS’s presence in Pownal; the committee agreed to explore working with FCS on future community events such as an ice‑cream social.
Heidi Richards proposed exploring an “off‑campus” field trip to Boston using the Downeaster train; the committee asked members to investigate whether insurance and other logistics would be required before the recreation committee could sponsor such a trip.
The meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m.; the minutes were signed and submitted by Kathleen Hogue.
