Ms. Fisher informed the Commission that she had invited Kelly Brennan, the Director of the Co-Op Day Camp to attend this evening's meeting to discuss the Co-Op Budget.

REQUEST FOR THE USE OF THE CARPINO-STEFFENS RECESS AREA: The Commission reviewed a request from Lawrence Keane, Assistant Principal of Hommocks School, to use the Recess Area of the Carpino-Steffens Fields for an after school program for minority children. Commissioner Castellani has concerns regarding the use of a Town facility for a program that is not available to all children of the community. Commissioner Druker agrees. Ms. Fisher will contact Mr. Keane for an explanation as to who the program is open to. The Recreation Commission will approve this request only if all children of the community are welcome to join.
