This may turn out to be a really bad idea but I did it anyway. Our town hall is a former one-room school house. That means no running water, no inside bathroom, and no heat - unless I stop by an hour ahead of time and turn it on. So I checked thru the state statutes, ran it past the treasurer and the County Clerk and then talked to the town chairman. How about holding the board meetings at my house during the cold months of October - March? My house is the only one of the elected officials that is handicapped accessible (a state requirement), has adequate parking, and can seat 15 besides the board. Of course I was asked if I would have coffee and lemon bars for them before the meeting. (Obviously none of them have ever eaten my cooking!) I read in old minutes that the board used to meet at members homes in the winter so we'll see how this works out.

It would cut down on your travel time, surely.

Sounds like a great idea to me.

They might "tee-hee" when they cannot resist playing with your paper doll on the refrigerator!
