Communications:  Kim shared an e-mail she had received from the Scituate CORSE foundation requesting funding for an upcoming program.  After discussion it was decided that we would not donate this year, but will plan on contributing next year by budgeting perhaps $100 in the budget for this purpose.  Kim will contact CORSE to share this information.

Old Business:

          2011-2012 SEPAC Calendar:   The Board decided to continue with their monthly meetings and decided the second Tuesday of every month from 10-12 would work well.  Donna requested that any agenda items be in to her by the first Tuesday of the month in order to allow time to draft an agenda and get it posted in accordance with Open Meeting Law.
