New Business:

1. Chuck Fulton from Camden House presented a slideshow of projects he needs volunteers to complete to open Camden House. Priorities included installing hand rails, molding, pantry shelves, and building wardrobe cabinets for clothes for each room. A discussion followed concerning each project the Guild would undertake. Mike Rietveld brought up a liability issue for installing hand rails and pantry shelves. A vote was taken with the following results.

a. Installing hand rails - the members voted not to undertake this project.

b. Building and installing pantry cabinets - the members voted not to undertake this project.

c. installing molding - the members voted not to undertake this project due to the fact that Camden House had this project well in hand.

d. Building pantry cabinets - this project was tabled until the next meeting pending receipt of plans for a standard size for the cabinets
from Chuck Fulton.

2. All members are to turn in their class schedules at the next meeting.
