2007 Programs Locations for 2007 programs was discussed. The consensus was that the Community Center is too much work and the Red Lion’s service was very poor. The Center was discussed as being the best option for programs in 2007. Annie committed to talking to the Center since talk has been productive in the past. Annie confirmed that we may need to confirm numbers with them in the future. One big plus is that at The Center, people know where to go.
