Rosemary Burns Love and Joan Tavares-Avant <br /> telephoned in. <br /> Brian Hyde: CPC has new updates for the fall Town Meeting. Historic District <br /> Commission: Both Richard and Ava will go over to Town Hall again to be sworn in as <br /> new members of the Commission. Brian told us that Evan Lehrer is leaving his job as <br /> Town Planner for the Town to open his own 'business. He will be missed, but we wish <br /> him well. <br /> Richard informed us that the schoolhouse tours for this spring have been completed <br /> with six classes of 3rd grade students from the Quashnet School having come for the <br /> tours. Richard and Ava also conducted tours of the schoolhouse, Veterans Garden and <br /> War Memorials, and the Archives for the Mashpee Men's Club. <br /> Richard reported on the cleaning of the cemetery stones by Naomi Walker which has <br /> been well done. Joan made a motion that we keep Naomi Walker working on the <br /> project, and Ava seconded it; we voted the motion unanimously. Naomi has already <br /> looked at the Attaquin Cemetery gravestones, and we approved that she proceed. <br /> Richard brought up trying to identify the name/burial with the crumbled stone in the <br /> cemetery. Ava suggested that they bring up a list to the cemetery and go through the <br /> names of the known burials. Lenny suggested that we may have to make it as <br /> unknown. Research will continue. <br /> Rosemary: She has been working on research for Chopchaque Road. <br /> Ava spoke about the issues involved with burials in the contiguous areas of the Amos- <br /> Coombs-Avant cemeteries. Catherine is working on the surveying the areas previous to <br /> the new fencing that is proposed. <br /> Ava had a meeting with the Community Park people which consisted of Rodney, <br /> Wayne, Carol Sherman, and Richard. The Town Manager has requested that Ava have <br /> the metal signs that he wants to display at the Town Hall be prepared first. <br />
