reminded by Carole to make sure to alert the Board prior to sending out any
mailings to avoid surprises.
Related Foundation Programs’ status/issues:

the lot for gathering helpers.
*Historical Society: Ron reported that they get about one “hit”
each month on our web-site space for the Historical Society with questions or
historical input. We need to remind
others of the site’s availability as a storage repository. Ron will discuss the capability for storage

MCC Sub-committee status/issues:

Old Business:
Lyle was not available to provide a report on the proposed celebration of the Plan completion.
Carole said she was attempting to contact other Kitsap Community Advisory Committee members to discuss the advantages/disadvantages in the formation of a Manchester CAC.
New Business:
We all discussed the agenda for the 4/22 MCC
meeting. It was agreed that we would
eliminate the monthly reading of our mission statement, we would normally move
the speakers to the end of our agenda to get the business meeting completed
first, and we would remove the goals from under old business and include those
discussions in Action Group reports.
Several potential speakers were suggested for April; 1) other CAC
members, 2) Fire Chief Wayne Senter/Commissioner Gerry Preuss, 3) Bob Cairns of
Manchester Fuel Depot, 4)Larry Keaton of Kitsap DCD on the new permitting
process. Carole will pursue speakers in
that order.
In an effort to encourage new
members it was suggested that John send our next meeting reminder to all past
members and encourage their continued support.
There being no further business, Chairman Leininger adjourned the meeting at 7:35 PM.
Our next regular meeting will be Tuesday April 22nd at
6:30-8:30PM in the Manchester Library and the next Executive Board meeting will
be Thursday May 1st at 6:30PM in the Library.

submitted,
