Euclid Beach Blast and Claire's events
Stephen Love asked FOEC to be at Euclid Beach Blast event August 4 from 3-8 p.m.
We would have a tent and information; already paid for but would have to pay a $30 tent fee + need volunteers
Decided not to take part in event because we need for focus on how we do events as a group. FOEC struggling to get volunteers to do events - need to address this before take anything else on
Claire does not have anyone to help her at the June 27 rain barrel workshop; Fran Hogg offered to help

Kathy Shaffer (guest)
Brought up that South Euclid library being sold with new library to be built across the street from Notre Dame College.
Question asked: Is this an issue for FOEC because the library and proposed development is in the watershed? What is going to happen to the current library property and building?
