Old Business
M. Droege/M. Clifford gave a update on the CRC/CVS Coalition latest meeting. A draft support letter was drafted (M. Droege) to be sent out to many Castleton and Hubbardton residents giving them a general format and a list of possible talking point that could be changed/edited to fit their particular interest in the proposed use of the CVS building. The group then brainstormed a list of residents and each person at the meeting took names on the list to contact. The Rec members also added names at a later meeting and each took some names to contact.
