MINUTES OF MEETING AT BETSY ROSS HOUSE
THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 2011
PRESIDING: Devon Gray
ATTENDANCE: no quorum
CALLED TO ORDER: 7:00pm
With no quorum present the group turned their attention to filling the calendar for the coming year. Tex Haeuser, City Planning Director, will be asked to speak soon. A suggestion for a speaker to demonstrate current cell phones, e-readers, and other technology was enthusiastically supported. Our annual potluck for residents of Betsy Ross House was scheduled for April. Betty Smith suggested we seek to engage more participation from the local business community. Other potential programs could include a speaker from the US Navy, if a special vessel is scheduled to visit Portland, a lobsterman (Richard Holt), a local police officer, and perhaps a farewell to Jim Ortiz, President of SMCC, with his replacement being introduced to the community.
The next meeting of WNA will be on February 17.
Respectfully submitted,
Devon Gray, Secretary

ROSS HOUSE

Called to Order: 6:30pm
Attendance: 5
Presiding: Steven Gray
This October meeting was held early due to a Candidates' Forum scheduled at City Hall.
With no quorum present an informal meeting was held to discuss present and upcoming activities.
No official WNA business was conducted.
Steve stated that a work day is scheduled by the Fort Preble Preservation Committee to accomplish additional clearing of invasive plant growth around the Fort. That work day will be held on Saturday October 23 from 9:00am to 1:00pm. Contact Tom Blake 799-5723 for more information.
During discussion about the use of a scythe to remove some of the shrubs, Ann Jewett commented that her father used to work with a scythe.
Ann & John Ridge notified us that South Portland Historical Society is inviting anyone who has personal experiences or knowledge about Knightville to attend a special meeting in November. All such people will be given an opportunity to speak. The SPHS intends to record the evening and offer a copy the recording for purchase. Because of conflict with WNA scheduled meetings, the prevailing individuals decided to postpone our Bob Crowley program and forego a November meeting altogether.
There being no further discussion, the meeting adjourned at 7:00pm.
Respectfully Submitted,
Devon Gray, Secretary
