Simplify the Tree bylaw to make it less complicated and more effective. Nancy Sofen to lead. 11. John Frye Memorial Planting update.

Three cheers to Jim for all his hard work and effort. 12. Move to adjourn unanimously approved. Next regular meeting is scheduled for June 10, 2021 at 7:30 am via Zoom.
