Membership/By-Laws – Cindy Boegly no report-CB B. Alumni - Mark Constable & Karen Pflug-Felder There was lots of positive feedback about the Alumni Reunion. It was a success due to the hard work of Mark Constable! Many people asked if this will be an annual event.(Karen) The Alumni Reunion (10/12) and Homecoming (10/19) generated quite a bit of Alumni activity. Alumni directory e-mail lists, news media and facebook pages all contributed to increased alumni communications. The “Methacton Alums” and Methacton Facebook pages grew during the events. Tom Ruth (MHS “78”) - the School Superintendent at Wilson (Reading area) School District – offered his assistance with regard to the capital Campaign and field renovation initiatives – his contact info was shared with Dr. Zerbe (Mark)

C. Holiday House Tour – December 8, 2013 – Carole Staats - We have five homes and one historical home. Right now what we need to organize are volunteers. We will have two shifts, the first shift - 12:30 - 3:45pm. The second shift - 3:45 - 7pm. Please contact Marijane and let her know what shift you would be available. We are all invited to Chadwick's after the end on the House Tour for some apps & beverages. Sherry is organizing this. Janeen via the high school cooking class will provide cookies available at the historical home. Cindy's busy making luminaires. Janice is promoting our flyer. We only have one week between Thanksgiving and the tour, last year we had two. Lets hope it's a dry day......looking forward to a fun time!

D. Art, Corks, & Forks II – April 7, 2014 – Cindy Boegly The committee met this week and will meet again at 6pm prior to the Board's January 7 meeting. Minutes of the Committee meetings will be sent to all Board members.

The School District is moving forward with the Land Development Process with Worcester Township for the Fields Improvement Project. This process is in parallel to the Lights Approval Process which is currently, as we all know, involved in the Conditional Use Hearing Process. (At this point, there is at least one more hearing scheduled.) Pending approval of the Land Development Process with Worcester Township, the School Booard would be potentially in position to approve formally a project plan (including cost, funding parameters, etc.) Once a plan is approved, the Capital Campaign effort would be positioned to launch a concrete program to involve potential corporate contributions. There are many considerations to be reviewed. I would propose at the next face-to-face meeting, that I do a full review.
