OLD
BUSINESS:

Wenner all reported the Easter Egg Hunt was a huge success. The weather was beautiful and attendance was
high and all the children who participated had a wonderful time. On a motion by

MAINTENANCE
AT GREEN BRANCH / DEER PEN AND UNITY
PARKS
Harry Snyder reported fields are being fertilized and he is waiting to
hear from the soccer club regarding their contracting with a private contractor
for maintenance of soccer fields. The parking lots are progressing and he is
hoping to have some more paving completed over the summer. Some trees are being
planted to help with the wind. He also
wanted to let the committee know the soccer club did a nice job cleaning up the
park after the Easter Tournament they hosted. A Gazebo has been ordered for
Deer Pen Park. Grants are being worked
on for Unity Park. Kate Harrison made a
suggestion that it would be a nice addition to have some sort of baby swing put
over at the playground at Green Branch Park.
Harry Snyder explained that for insurance reasons the swing must be
separate from other equipment which makes it a big expense (possibly $1800.00).

Linda DuBois reported Pittsgrove Day is coming together. Donation and participation letters have been
sent out. She wants to keep a master
list of everything so it is all in one place.
She also wants to be able to acknowledge donations in the
newspaper. Vendors have started to sign
up. Volunteers are needed to work the
day of the event. Donations are being
sought to help with various activities during the day. Parvins State Park Appreciation Committee
have their events in place for the day also.
On a motion by Audrey Mavroff and seconded by Walt Wenner expenditures
of $6400.00 for rides and $6,000.00 for fireworks were approved.
VOTE: ALL IN FAVOR
