PFOA NH DES UPDATE
I have asked Mike Wimsatt and Jeffrey Marts from NHDES to provide the Board of Selectmen with an update on the status of St. Gobain and residents receiving temporary bottled water.
Cub / Boy Scout Storage
Kerri Douglas, Curtis Sampson (Cubmaster) or Jeff McLean (Asst. Cub Master) will be present to request permission to for the Cub Scouts Pack / Boy Scout Troop to use one of the upstairs offices in the old fire station for storage. If we could clear out an office in the old station, it would help us to consolidate gear and make it more accessible for those who wish to use it.
It was suggested that I reach out to you to try to obtain access, but if I need to reach out to someone else, I am happy to do so if you point me in the correct direction.
Best wishes,
Keri
