d. I recommend acceptance of the donation of labor to fix the Davis Thayer scoreboard from Mr. Glenn Jones as detailed in the attached pictures.   motion to approve, passed 5-0

Glenn spoke about his idea to remove the existing scoreboard that was approx. 50 years. Confirmed by a couple of folks that is was there when they attended. He was planning on painting and returning it, when he plugged it in, he found it still worked. He had to replace or repair some components. A new clock is included. Donations from a number of businesses helped along the way. It is now hanging in the Davis Thayer gymnasium.

He has a few surprises to reveal during a presentation scheduled for Wednesday assuming the weather holds.

One way to test the scoreboard would be have some test with the School Committee and the Town Council in some competition.

It was a lot of fun for Glenn to do. He hasn't come across many things that old that still works and is functional.
