The First Membership Appreciation Breakfast was held on Saturday, February 27th. About forty members and their guests attended. After fueling up with breakfast and coffee, Tom Vautin, BPC President, kicked-off the meeting with a brief presentation about current goals and upcoming activities. Next, Board member, Dawn Walnut, led the group through a brainstorming exercise to discuss ‘What can (and should) the Brewster Ponds Coalition do?”
First everyone worked alone, listing their ideas on a sheet of paper, and then cut their ideas into strips. Then, each table reviewed and sorted their ideas, and a representative shared their table’s top three ideas with the group. Dawn jotted all the ideas on a flip chart, and finally everyone voted for their three favorite ideas with sticky notes. The most popular entries had an educational theme: - Publish a good pond practices booklet for Brewster property owners - Post informational signage at town landings - Create more education and outreach programs These suggestions are just the tip of the iceberg. There are a multitude of suggestions—7+ pages of notes for the board to consider! A number of members volunteered for various activities from the membership work group, and pond testing, fundraising—just to name a few.
