Discussion of food vendors for NarbEarth Day: -Narberth Caf did hoagies, hotdogs. -A caterer had veggie burgers, etc. that were very popular. We would like to have food options. -The Civic would like to have a portion of the profits from food sold. -Georgette is going to see how to ensure that JacknJill trucks do not drive through on NarbEarth Day. -Jim Speer will speak to the person who made the t-shirts last year. -One idea is to use all biodegradable materials for food service, etc. Deborah reports that she and Jim met to discuss changes to the Civics website, particularly the home page, so that it is more user-friendly and Civic business is more obvious to people visiting the site. They are working out kinks with PayPal. One idea is to develop committees and have them on the home page so that members can see options for involvement in Civic events. Examples could be a membership committee, a NarbEarth Day committee, an external affairs committee, a social committee, a finance committee, and so on. It would be nice to have a new members reception as well. Progress report from the Narberth Borough Planning Commission given by Jim Cornwell: 1

-The commission has succeeded in getting the Borough Council to agree to rewrite the Narberth zoning code. -The Council has hired a professional planner through the Montgomery County Planning Commission to work with the Borough on rewriting the code. -This effort will go on for a couple of years.
