Speaking of the Library, you know, the fact that they have that book in their shows that the library is not bias and that they
can have, you know, books on communism, or Hitler's books, and also have books that go against that. That's exactly -
and I'm not comparing that - but I'm just saying they can have alternative positions whether we agree with those positions
or not. This past week, | went to the library. They had their annual or their spring book sale. They made over $18,000 for
the library. So with COVID the last couple of years, | know it's been tough for them and | just want to thank and
appreciate the work that Director McCormick is doing over at the library. It was a really good sale. They got $6.50 out of
me and my kids, so thank you for that. It was packed so it's good money going to the library.
And the last thing, the Senior Center. So | saw that the Mayor was there. | think it was today boxing up some meals on
wheels or helping prepare some meals on wheels. | actually visited there last Friday and met with some of the Board. Mr.
Fredette - former Treasurer Fredette, Margo Bell, June Caron - former Alderman. | think it's a great facility. | did find out
that, you know, as a 50 year old I'm allowed to join. It starts at 50. So, you know, | might take them up on that. They got
a nice little gym in there. A nice little library. It's not run by the city. We do support them in certain ways and | think they
do a great job. Again with COVID, things kind of went down a little bit, but it's a beautiful facility as far as cleanliness.
They got about 800 members. So | just wanted to promote that and build them up again because | think they do a lot of
good things for the city and the seniors. Thank you.
Committee announcements:
Alderman O’Brien
Thank you, Madam President. As liaison to the BPW, just to remind you tomorrow at two o'clock in the afternoon will be a
groundbreaking ceremony at the landfill. Everybody's welcome. If you want to come, you get to see the Mayor throw a
couple of shovels. | think Alderman Dowd is bringing the cupcakes. | don't know. You're all welcome to that.
And with the Co-Chair just to remind on Wednesday will be the Task Force meeting, which is tomorrow night on the
downtown barriers. So you're all welcome to attend that as well. Thank you. That's at 7 pm.
Alderwoman Kelly
| almost never do this because it's always so far away but we do have a Personnel. It sounds like we'll be busy thanks to
the new appointments by the Mayor on April 4 Monday before our next Board meeting.
Alderman Dowd
Yes this Thursday at 7 o'clock there will be the Joint Special School Building Committee at Nashua High North.
| also forgot to mention that | did a letter to all the neighbors around the new school and around Cherrywood and
Medallion, and handle limited all of them so that Alderman Sullivan and | wouldn't be getting any unnecessary phone
calls. So no phone calls so far. It looks like it gave them news. Thanks.
Alderwoman Timmons
Yes. Tomorrow the Cultural Connection meets not at 9 o'clock but at 12. They changed the time for just tomorrow until
we decide exactly when we're going to have the time. So it was voted to have it tomorrow afternoon at 12 o'clock via
Zoom.
President Wilshire
Okay. Thank you.
Alderman Jette
| hate to ever correct Alderman Dowd but | want to point out to him that the new middle school is no longer in Ward 9 —
Alderman Sullivan's Ward but it's now in Ward 5, my Ward.
Alderman Sullivan
| will forward all those calls to you.
