Director’s Report: The Town Warrant will be distributed in early March. Howe is to check for items of interest to the COA and we will invite any town people who can speak to those issues. Dir. Carrano has spoken to the Provincetown Police Dept. Rather than lunch presentations, Sgt. Benjamin & Officer Peters will offer a repeat of the DECIDE program at dates to be announced. The “Shifting Gears” program is on hold – probably until late spring. Welcome Packets for the Yearrounders Festival have been prepared and will be picked up on 3/9.

Triad/Salt: Howe reported that there had been no activity since signing the joint funds appeal with Truro for the emergency packets.

After significant discussion, it was decided that bingo would be cancelled on days that the Board meets.
