Business Networking Meeting. Ideas for a possible business networking meeting in April were brainstormed. We would like to hold the meeting at The Mill Works LLC. J Silverstein will request a Certificate of Insurance from Donna Latinsics at the Town of Willington. The Mill Works LLC, 156 River Road, Willington, Connecticut needs to be named as an additional insured and include a minimum $1m liability coverage. We have tentatively earmarked Wednesday, April 19, 2017 as a possible date. If the Commission can decide on and approve a new mission statement, we will plan to introduce it at the meeting. We will consider a reception table for sign in and ticketing purposes, as well as offer various presentation tables, music, refreshments, a raffle, open mic, and a rolling power point presentation. If our business cards are ready, we will also make those available for distribution.

Options & Opportunities. The EDC budget was discussed. T Buccino will finalize the document for presentation to the Board of Finance in March.

The meeting adjourned at 11:20 AM.

The next regular meeting is scheduled for March 10 at 9:00 AM.
