Present were Eva Hausman, Susan Ersinghaus & Mickey Lecours-Beck
The Minutes of the last meeting held on Sept. 15 2009 were read and approved.
Commission members then reviewed what had been achieved over the last year and brainstormed over what the limited resources available to the members could be applied to in the future to engage and educate the community.
