The 2007 Board of the Warner Fall Foliage Festival met Monday, Dec. 10 at MainStreet Bookends to hold their Annual Meeting to consider funding requests for the local community.
Board members Sean Bohman, Suzanne Solomon, Pam Trostorff, Paul DiGeronimo, Kathy Carson, Michelle Courser, AnnMarie Smith, and Denny Roberge presented to a small audience the Treasurer’s Report and list of Funding Requests received. Board Member Tina Schirmer was absent. Mother Nature and a fabulous and dedicated cadre of volunteers combined to make 2007 at very successful venture, enabling most of these requests to be considered. Upon presentation of the requests, the Board and audience voted an approval on the following 14 awards:
