Robert Foxx, Deneen Baldwin, Suzette Cullen, Board Member, Kathy Rieder, and Lyndsey Jennings, staff.

We have contracted with Abell Pest Service for monthly inspections until further notice.

We had wanted to take out the upstairs in the back hall, but that project will be put on hold until we can make sure that we can keep the structural integrity intact.

Re the stage floor support for the piano, Kathy is taking on that project, but no time limit was ‘agreed to.

Ron Dobie needs to be paid for his lawn mowing.  This is a new contract position for the summer musings.

We agreed that any alcohol events need to provide proof of event insurance, liquor license and arrangements for the events security before the reservations will be secured.  We appointed Eli to be the contact between the hall and the event organizers.

Roz Klein has requested and we gladly agreed to have her be the point person for organizing the blackberry faire.  So far we have the carmen miranda trio organizing the parade, and the garden club organizing the fall fair produce and flower judging.

June 24th will be the Hall clean up day this year, with Kathy Rieder organizing the day.  

We did not set a meeting date for June.

We adjourned at 8:00pm.

Solar Panels Now Operating

The Denman Hall solar panels are now up on the roof and operational. To see how much sun-energy is being produced go to our page on the GapEnergy website.

The Denman Island Community Hall solar energy project was a community-funded installation of 50 solar panels on the roof of the hall. Most of the work was done by local residents who had taken a workshop given by Dave Nead of GabEnergy. The panels were connected into BC Hydro’s net metering system by Andrew Scott Sharrock of Island Electric, Ltd.
