2. Communications Committee 
   Elizabeth reported that the Committee is still without a new Chair, and has decided to focus on its essential task of publicizing Town Meetings. This may well not need formal meetings or a Chair, as each person has definite tasks for each Town Meeting. 
   
   A proposed simplified flyer was discussed and the wording and layout approved. Birgit will ask Jody Grovier to prepare it for printing and Lucy offered to do it on bright colored paper.
