Fund members felt a repeat request from Mrs. Roberts for attendance at summer programs for her three children also does not fall under the Fund's intended purpose. It was voted to deny Mrs. Roberts' request. C. Fund members felt that Mr. Baran should help Mrs. Goode pursue scholarship for extended kindergarten for her son. It was voted to deny Mrs. Goode's request. 3. It was voted to rescind a vote of November 17, 2000 for $3,750 for roof and chimney repair to Pamela Maynard because of her unwillingness to reimburse the Fund if and when she might receive an insurance settlement. 4. It was voted to grant a request from the Center Committee for $2,300 for twice a year planting in the barrels in the Center. The Board wanted to make sure that the plantings are done in East Lexington also. Mrs. McKenna felt it was important to avoid poll votes as much as possible because it is beneficial to hear the comments of other Fund Board members. Mr. Baran was also asked to provide the names and addresses of the individuals asking for assistance. The meeting concluded at 5:00 p.m.
