Questions concerning the weed killing treatments around the building and parking lot was discussed. Was Brooks
landscaping contracted for one treatment or monthly? Dick will review the invoices and talk with Brooks Landscaping.

Newsletter - Ray Roy: Next issue will be published in October, 2011. Ray mentioned that only two more Newsletters
are planned in the traditional mailed format.. However it was conceded that not everyone is on the internet, so provisions
will have to be considered for those people.

Membership - Marcel Martel: Membership application from William Dusseault was presented, with Marcel’s
recommendation for approval. Mike Dion moved to accept, Bob Belair seconded. 10,0.

IT- Bob Anastasoff: Bob reported the activity on the website settled back to just over 600 hits in August.
A new initiative is to create individual web pages on the St. Louis website for each class to post pictures, and any activities,
reunions and such, that should be posted. Roger Gobeil will be using ‘flicker’ technology for the pictures. One class has
already begun the process. Two other class representatives have also expressed interest. Those interested in the specifics
should contact Bob or Roger directly.

Nominating - Bob Belair: With several members of the Board stating their intentions not to run for re-election in June, efforts
will begin soon to find interested individuals who would like to serve on the Board.

Golf - Mike Dion: Target date for next year’s tournament is June 16, 2012.

Community Relations - John Thibault: It has been noted that the history of St. Louis Alumni on the website has not been
updated since 1990, the 50^th Anniversary. Efforts should be made to accomplish this before the new year. John would like
to put together some ideas to increase participation of existing members and provide activities to attract new members, by
talking with past Board members and officers to tap into their experience and expertise.

The chairs have been purchased and are being used.

None

The Chairman presented the Real Estate Tax Bill that was received. The appraisal for the building is $131,200.00 and land
value is $405,000.00. Although the Alumni does not owe anything on the current assessment, 2011/2012, the prospect of an
approximately $9,000.00 obligation some time in the future is very real. The obvious impact would be to our donations to the
community.

Next meeting will be October 12, 2011..

With no further business before the Board, Mike Dion moved, Marcel Martel seconded to adjourn at 7:50. Approved 9,0.

Respectfully submitted

Mike Pendergrass
Secretary
