Eliot has supported paying for trees with Friends of Trees with Neighborhood Livability funds. Last year, Jere Fitterman helped lead a Tree inventory team and they are now requesting for fiscal sponsorship for getting grant funds. The Board already okayed a letter of support for a Metro grant. We should discuss level of being a fiscal sponsor and if we need to have NECN handle this level of support.

9. Announcements and Comments (8:15 PM)

Volunteer Request: We have a neighbor who wants to restart the Beauty Team project of Trash containers throughout Eliot with our own Eliot Message sponsored by businesses. Please contact Angela Kremer for the contact person if you would like to volunteer.
