OLD BUSINESS:
None.

NEW BUSINESS:
PYA received a letter/card from Melissa Fagan for her receiving one of the scholarships.  Membership invited to read it.

Peter Sformo, town board member, discussed the DRAFT first phase of the Town Park. There will be 3 soccer fields/football fields, 4 small baseball fields, 1 large baseball field, pavilions, playground, two parking lots.  It is a 2-3 year project of the first 50 acres. Peter expressed this is a draft plan, not finalized. There is an additional 50 acres available for additional phases/drafts.

Expressed to everyone to spread the word that the ACCESS ROAD to the football field is for HANDICAPPED and EMERGENCY VEHICLE access ONLY.  There have been continued problems with parking in that area. PYA runs the risk of losing the privilege to use school facilities, as well as such vehicles being ticketed by police.
