Immersion Day
On hold for now, Leelee and Kim still talking. Talking about spring now,
since September is close, and not great weather after that. Maybe having a
mini-immersion day @ Westbrook Together Days! Could be an official event on
the official schedule.
Structure and Incorporation
Discussion of desirability of 501(c)3 status, which would require a lot of
work (board formation, bylaws)
Scheduling
Should we move the meeting further back into the evening? No decision, but
some discussion.
Continuing Business:
Intersection recommendations (Hannaford/WCD; Riverbank Park/Blazes
Burgers)? (20 min.)
Do we have consensus on advocating for a specific solution, especially at
Hannaford/WCD?
Ann proposes legislation to allow the DOT to make the exception. She feels
that this would be required.
Agreement that we should research this. John will reach out to Patrick
Adams.

by Wed 9/12. John will provide canopy. BYOC (chairs). Dennis will bring
cooler, and check on tables from the American Legion hall. Leelee will
bring bottled water. Leelee and Kim to look for bling. John will ask
Patrick Adams (DOT) about snap bracelets and reflective stickers.

9/5.
