Chris agreed to follow up with Scott Wallace, Recreation Coordinator at Clovernook.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Chris spoke with Scott before tonight’s meeting and was told that Clovernook could host the event in October. We decided to schedule the event on October 9 at the end of the business day. We agreed to have popcorn and other snack foods and do a brief introduction to NFB before the movie. Christopher agreed to follow up with Scott concerning how Clovernook handles snacks / concessions.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Deborah expressed that the movie should be short and upbeat—with a positive message.
