Everett discussed the Internal Revenue Service Application for 501 (c)(3) for Nonprofit Status.  He has pretty much put the finishing touches on this prolific document and has mailed copies of all the documents to each of the officers for their review before he sends it off.

 

There was more discussion concerning the ÒwhenÓ and ÒhowÓ to disburse the 1st scholarship.  During one of the directorÕs meetings, it was suggested that the first distribution be this year.  It was suggested that the money for that first distribution be by donation rather than taking the money from our savings.  That way we could get the scholarship off the ground this year with as little impact to the funds principle. 

 

As with most spring meetings there was less business and more reminiscing. 

Henry Noonan is scheduled to retire this year from teaching.

Mike McClure & Jackie Martin have retired.

Bob Thorne & Dean Fernald are both in Florida playing music (though not necessarily together). 

Dave Saucier played on Friday night during the festivities for the All State Music Conference.  Everyone was elated to get to see Dave play again.

Marlene Hall is still going strong in Rockland.

Jeff Gagner is still in Woodland area.

Casey White is a Holistic Healer in the Patten area.

Jim Brown is teaching music in Augusta School System.

Walter Babbage passed away this year.
