CFC September Meeting Notes

Hello All,

Below are some highlights from the September CFC meeting. If you would like a copy of the complete minutes, please contact Amanda at asduling@gmail.com.

Pre-meeting Consultation with Ann Cousins of the Vermont Preservation Trust

Ann cited three examples of buildings where use was shared between a longstanding organization and a community group: Pierce Hall in Rochester, Saxtons River, Main Street Arts in Saxtons River, and the Historical Society in Cambridge. The usage and organizational relationships of each facility were discussed. Ann suggested a joint Masons/CFC field trip to Rochester to talk with them about their process and outcome.

The meeting was called to order by President Mark Hunziker at 7:24 pm. and the discussion with Ann Cousins continued.

Ann mentioned the Brookfield Old Town Hall which was purchased in 2002 for $95,000 by a community group. The group immediately started using the building while they made incremental improvements, just now adding bathrooms ten years later.
