balance is $20,502.13. Her report is
attached and incorporated by reference.
Betty
reported that Dogtown still wanted to host a movie in the park as a fund raiser
for the Park. Betty indicated that May
19 was a possible date; she will need to coordinate with them. They are thinking of showing “Brother Where
Art Thou”. PFF may possibly sell popcorn
and drinks.
Betty also
reported that Dr. McNeil of the VT Tighty Whities Jazz Ensemble “The Sounthern
Colonels” was interested in doing a benefit concert for PFF as a fund raising
event. Betty thought possibly a
September event. The “Colonels” would be
donating most of their costs and it would cost us less than $200 to get
them. It was decided to have Betty
continue to pursue.
Old Business:
Park Planning Committee Report:
Sign: Jane reported that the Town still had not
contact Betty and Grey Lineberry regarding the change in sign wording.
Shelter: Mike reported that Mike Shortt will begin
leveling for the stage slab this week.
Land’s Sake! 2012:
Jane reported the following:
Food: Jane reported that she has three food vendors:
Beegle BBQ, Dogtown and Riverstone/Crenshaw.
PFF will be doing drinks and baked goods; Anne Pendrak is
coordinating. She reported that PFF may
be doing other food also and that we need to have some kind of breakfast food
too.
Green
Machine Car Show: Jane reported that
she needs several drivers to pick up cars from Christiansburg and drive them to
Floyd for the car show. The arrangements
have been made at the dealers; all they need is a current driver’s
license.
Trails: Jack
reported that the Trail Proposal was pretty much shot down by the Rec Authority
Board. Jack indicated that he thinks
their reluctance to approve a trail comes from the lack of support from the
County Board of Supervisors and Dan Campbell, County Administrator. Discussion was had as to whether to continue
to pursue a trail. Several suggestions
were made, including: meeting with the County Board of Supervisors, trying to
get the support of the Town Counsel, having a table at Lands Sake for people to
sign a trails assessment survey and pick up letters to send to their supervisor
asking them to support a trail, etc.
Randall indicated that he was finished with trails for the time
being. It was decided to send a letter
updating some of the original trails supporters in regard to what has
transpired; Randall will write the letter for Jack to sign. It was reported that David is opening up some
of the trails on the Chantilly property for the public. PFF will continue to pursue but will take a
break at the moment.
Community in Schools:
Jack reported there was no new information; the program is moving slowly
and they are waiting for training from the VA Community in Schools group.
New Business: None.
Announcements:
Tour De Floyd:
Jack reported that the Tour de Floyd will be held on May 19 and they are
looking for volunteers to help with refreshments tables. Anyone wishing to help should contact Jack.
Meeting was adjourned.
Next meeting will be Monday, May
21, 2012, at 6:30 pm at Wall Residences.
Respectfully submitted,
Dede McGrath,
Recording Secretary
