In attendance were Mary-Lou Benson, Vivian Plank, Lorrie Pope, Tom Pope, Todd Hart, Billy Lafferty, Sean Hart and Micki Harnois
The minutes of the May 17th meeting were approved.
There is a total of $10,847.97 in the checking account and no grant funds have been spent.
Community Center
Plans are being made for a work party to do the following: bolt the bookcases in place; spackle the holes in the sport activity wall; paint the "movie screen" wall, sport activity wall, entrance wall,and book shelves; move the half-wall; sand the computer tables; set up the computers; set up the TV/DVD/VCR; retrofit the overhead lights and paint the ceiling; measure the "social area" floor for carpeting; set up the sports equipment and stock the bookcases and shelves. The work party will be on Monday evenings after the meetings or when enough people are available to help with the moving and the lifting.
Things needed for the work party: a) paint (1 gallon flat latex for the "movie screen" wall, 5 gallons cream semi-gloss washable for entry and sports area and 5 gallons of white ceiling paint), b) computer router and c) computer software.
Todd Hart and Tom Pope will change the lights. Avista will give a $25 rebate for each light replaced.
Background checks for all adults assisting with Community Center activities will be started once the consent forms are signed.
There was discussion regarding a banner for the Farmer' Market as well as the Rockford Community Center. We will check on a price for the Farmers' Market banner.
Community Gardens
The Farmers' Market made a profit of $47 with 3 vendors present.
The vendors from last year were sent letters and some completed forms have been received.
Mary-Lou Benson gave a mini-training on how to operate the produce scale and figure out pricing of items for the Farmers' Market.
Those who have expressed an interest in helping with planting have been notified and are "on call" until the ground is dry enough.
There was $201 spent on the triangle plot located in front of the restrooms at the park. Keith Wigen began the construction of the first tier wall and it will be finished once it quits raining. Keith has the full list of plantings which includes tomato, pepper and seed potato starts.

The Town has elected to stay with the present webmasters
There are lists of businesses on the web that can be accessed and linked with the RCC/Horizons page.
