Brian Weeden abstained. Veterans Monument Richard and Ava have been working with Catherine who has been trying to get bids for the engraving for the monument, but up to this date, she has not had any. Bids for the cement came in at $57,000. If the bid for the engraving names into the granite comes in over the available funds, we will have to apply for more CPA funding in the spring. Parsonage Cheryl O'Malley came to view the Parsonage and felt that they could get the work done on that building. We are working on having The Dendrochronology Lab from the UK do the work during the Thanksgiving holiday week. Schoolhouse Brian will apply for CPA funding to cover the cost of purchasing an AC wall unit. . Richard agreed to contact the Quashnet School to find out about whether or not the fall tours for the 5th grade students could still be arranged. Richard informed us that David Weeden is the contact on the Indian Museum part of the school tours. We discussed the schoolhouse model that we have that was made to scale by students at the Quashnet elementary school under the direction of Sean O'Connor, a 6t" grade teacher. He announced that we also have a new Treasurer on the Board. Brian questioned whether or not the Schoolhouse was ever put on the State Register of Historic places.
