1) Gloria reviewed grants.  The Cassella money for the front door came in.  The Tioga Downs 

paperwork was submitted in September.  The paperwork for the Room Tax money which

we didn't get in on this year will be available in January / February 2025.  We received a total

of $2,020.00 from the Flex Gives campaign - we will do this next year.  We received a $500.00

donation from Judy Slade & $200.00 from Gwen Walts. 

 

2) Anita reported on Fund Raising.  We raised a total of $3,379.00 from the Craft Fair.  There

were pros & cons with regard to the change in people at the Legion & she reviewed some of the

survey results.  Anita has contacted other places for our event next year, in case we need to. 

Our check from Doug's Fish Fry came; we will hold next years on a Wednesday in June. 

 

3) Shirley reported one new lifetime member: Mary Ann Perks.  We will look into a membership

drive. 

  

4) Tim reported for the Cemetery / Building committees.  We have a quote from Lowes for a

door of $1,100.  We need to get the door then decide on the hardware & lock system.  He also

filled out & returned the Property Description Report for the town assessor.  We talked about the

electric bill for the building & voted that we will pay it for 6 months out of the year with the

Grange paying it the other six months.  The cemeteries look great.   

 

5) Gloria will submit paperwork in 2025 for our permanent charter as the one we currently

have expires in 2026.  We have to have shown growth in membership, fund raising & what

we've done to improve the building.   

 

6) Dave Conklin spoke briefly on area topics.
