Dawn,

     I just confirmed the location of our meeting for this coming Sunday. Dean and Melary will be at the house, but Dean needs to leave soon after we arrive. There will be a tour of the house. We will meet outside under their pergola (weather permitting). If the weather does not permit, we can meet inside. It might help to take some chairs to the meeting and to car pool (parking is somewhat limited). I told Dean not to worry about refreshments or drinks so if members want anything of that nature, please take it with you.

     The address of the house is 12 Faith Meadows, Williamstown, but Dean advises not to use GPS since it is misleading. Here are directions:

         -Cross the Williamstown Bridge

        -At the second traffic light (at Tomlinson Park) turn left -Fifth St.

       -Go all the way to the end of Fifth St (past the stop sign)

       -Turn right on Faith Meadows (the street has a different name on the right side--Bukey St)

       -Go all the way up the hill bearing left - it's at the end of the street

(I’ve only been in one LEED-Platinum building before, and it was commercial, not residential. What a treat this will be!!)  Yes, I know it’s Easter—which is why we get to be there: Dean and Mellory will be celebrating Easter at Mellory’s parents’ home!  But we have their permission to meet in their gazebo, and maybe even get a tour. We’ll see. George will let us know. THANK YOU, George, for arranging this!!

Thank you, Adeline, for your meeting minutes. I couldn’t do this report without them. So, I’m going to  write a full report to turn in to FUUSM Council (or whomever it is that I am supposed to send it to), and I’ll write a shorter version of just our past year’s highlights and initiatives for Debra and/or Jim to present at the meeting on April 24. It is my intention to send them both to you yet tonight. This is how I will be spending my entire evening, and I’ve already gleaned the minutes from May through November 2021, so my data collection is half done, and it took several hours. Ugh. Not complaining. (Wait, yes, I am.) So, please plan to give me a half hour of your time for feedback (constructive criticism is very welcome) sometime tomorrow or Wednesday morning.
