The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. with a quorum present. 

 

Mrs. Casey reviewed the monthly financial statement.  The budget is consistent with last year’s budget.  .  Mrs. Casey and Mr. LeBrun check on the cost of heating oil weekly.  We haven’t locked in a price at this time.  Our advisor believes the price is more likely to go down in the next few months. If we have to order heating oil it would be $2.90 per gallon, and a lock in price would be nearly $3.20 per gallon.
