[Thursday] Memorial prep

[Randall Snow]

Hi Everyone,

Our memorial for Bob on 5/11 is going to require some planning and prep
around the museum.  Most specifically I think we need to get going on some
sprucing up right away.  I'd certainly like to look our best for the
occasion.  The lawn took some heavy abuse through the winter and needs some
restoration.  If we could do something more, like lime application, to
green it up more too and give it some health I'd like to do it.  I'd also
like to consider some flowers or other plantings to help bring some life to
the grounds.  I'll reach out to the Boy Scouts to see if they might be
willing to help with some cleanup of the perimeter in particular too.  For
the buildings they could all benefit from some painting of the trim.  I
have some work to do myself in finishing up the work on the meeting hall,
and was hoping to tackle more this year.  That plan will have to change a
little just to fit the schedule, and we might want to paint some wood that
I would otherwise choose to replace.  The work to replace the steam piping
is going well, and will be functional within a couple of weeks.  Aside from
that I'd like to focus all available attention on this prep.  Please let me
know if anyone is thinking of specifics that also need desperate attention,
or thoughts on this.  I'll take a run by this week to evaluate painting
supplies and pick them up before Thursday.  A tamper would probably help
the lawn repair but I don't think we have one there. There is certainly
more that needs to be done, but we need to start attacking these right
away.

Thanks,
