From Mlongreene2 at aol.com Thu Oct 1 07:56:04 2009 From: Mlongreene2 at aol.com (Mlongreene2 at aol.com) Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2009 07:56:04 EDT Subject: [Year-Round Housing] Annual Meeting summary for LongIslander Message-ID: FYI- Senior Housing Committee formed at YRHCorp Annual Meeting. New Island Fellow “Arrives” The Annual YRHCorp Meeting and election of Trustees was held on September 29. All current Trustees and officers were re-elected. We are pleased to have Mary McAleney elected as the new “Seasonal Resident Trustee”. At this meeting, our new Island Institute Fellow, Mary Terry joined us and met those present and discussed her role as the Casco Bay Island Housing Fellow. Mary Terry will be part time on Long, Peaks, Chebeague, and Cliff and focus solely on housing issues and projects on the islands. She has been the “ Housing Fellow” on Peaks for the past year and hits the ground running with considerable experience in this field. We will schedule Mary to be at upcoming events so that you can meet her. The Trustees voted to create a Senior Housing Committee (SHC) under the YRHCorp to explore interest in housing issues and needs for senior residents (or seniors to be!). It was also agreed to create a survey for all residents (and perhaps residents who have left) to see what interest there is in this topic and where we might go. This will be the major initial focus of Mary Terry’s work here. Additionally, she will work to help us continue to bring our land lease/homestead program to fruition by working to find willing lenders and additional grant opportunities to assist future housing candidates. Ruth (Chee) Peterson, Mark Greene, and Mary Terry are the initial members of the new Senior Housing Committee and welcome interested individuals to join us. Meeting times to get this survey work up and running are flexible. Contact Chee at 766 2071 or Mark at 766 4440 or _mlongreene2 at aol.com_ (mailto:mlongreene2 at aol.com) if you wish to join and/or can help out. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
