9. We need someone to volunteer for yearbook. The contract is signed for 2020. Remind
families as early as the picnic to send photos from school events to the yearbook;
remind parents about resolution and don’t resize. Layout begins when school pictures
are received. Time commitment is roughly 16 hours over the course of the year: 12
hours over one weekend and an occasional hour here and there for promotion,
reminders, and finishing final pages at the end of the timeline. Best to be completed by
one person because there is a single login, but a committee could help with marketing
and reviewing images received in the Google account.
10. Returning members meeting is August 20 at 6:30 at McGillicuddy’s in Colchester and
discuss managing roster of members
Adjourned at 7:35 pm
