North Canaan Recreation Commission reports $13,415 balance, readies Easter egg hunt and spring amenities
Summary
Treasurer Marilisa Camardi reported a commission balance of $13,415.25; a UConn-ticket fundraiser raised $315 and the Canaan Foundation contributed $1,000 (less than last year). The commission confirmed porta‑potty orders and event setup plans for the upcoming Easter egg hunt.
Treasurer Marilisa Camardi reported the commission holds $13,415.25 as of the March 17 meeting. She said the final fundraiser for UConn tickets generated $315 and that the Canaan Foundation donated $1,000 this year, which the commission noted is less than last year.
Camardi also reviewed event logistics: porta‑potties are priced at $127 per unit per month, and she will order two units for the week of April 6 and one for Lawrence Field at the end of May. She said there was nothing new to report on group events, and that Mr. Ellison will distribute the yard‑goats flyer after he receives it. For the Easter egg hunt, Camardi confirmed baskets and supplies are ready; Chairwoman Lindsay Crane said the costumed volunteers are prepared and thanked Lindell’s for laminating event materials. Setup for the egg hunt will begin at 10 a.m. on the day of the event.
Why it matters: The commission’s balance and fundraising receipts frame how much discretionary spending is available for events and minor maintenance. Commission members noted logistics and vendor coordination — including reprinting missing Lawrence Field signs and ordering porta‑potties — as near‑term operational tasks.
