Fines: Janet (for not offering Happy Bucks for receiving certificate for very high percentage of promised sustaining members at Rotary Foundation meeting.)
Members attending last week's meeting each drew the name of a student at Cushing School with his/her request for a gift. See you next Monday at 6:30 p.m. at the Barker Tavern for the party-dinner for staff and students.
Mark Fenton, the scheduled speaker, was unable to attend and asked his wife Lisa to substitute. She discussed People for Active Transportation and Health's efforts to construct a bike and walking trail along the Greenbush MBTA right-of-way. Mark was in Wheeling, West Virginia filming a PBS movie on Walking Trails, America's Walking.
Lisa told us the MBTA is studying PATH's proposal for the walking/biking trail. A 25 foot wide space for about 3.5 miles through Scituate is needed. This would include landscaping, fencing and the paved surface. Scituate Board of Health, selectmen and Planning Board have approved the trail. Now they need the OK from the Conservation Commission. Federal funds are available. It is estimated that up to $1.25 million is needed. Educating the public is part of PATH's work and they seek Rotary assistance for this.
