Marcia informed the Board that she had received a phone call from Donna Jordan with the Great North Woods Center for the Arts. Mrs. Jordan was inquiring if the Town had a policy regarding people bringing alcohol when attending an outside concert at the Center. Mrs. Jordan said she had contacted the State Liquor Commissioner who said they have no problems with it but suggested that she contact the Town.

may attend the concerts and bring along a picnic lunch with wine, etc. After discussion, the Board instructed Marcia to call Mrs. Jordan and tell her that the Town has nothing against it.
