May 5,1983.
There was a lengthy
discussion on the En-
dowment CD’s and
the money market, as
to whether to put
them all into one CD
or leave them as they
are, with the decision
to get advice on the
deal.
There was also a
short discussion on
cleaning out the west
fence, ending with the
decision to leave it as
is, since it would take
heavy equipment to
do the job and no
where to go with the
debris.
