The Brownstone Quorum will hold it's Annual Meeting at 7pm on Monday Jan 28 in the Mary Flood Room at Portland Library, 20 Freestone Ave, Portland, CT. The guest speaker will be Ray Purtell, Director of Parks and recreation in Glastonbury. Purtell has recently completed the creation of Glastonbury's multi purpose Riverfront Park on Welles Street. On a recent tour of Portland's Quarrylands/Riverfront property with members of the Quorum, Mr. Purtell was impressed. "It is a great property-so much history, terrific educational site", he said. "So beautiful. It'll be a wonderful park!" Purtell has a bachelors degree in Parks and Recreational Management from University of Massachusetts at Amherst. A brief business meeting with reports, election of officers and awards will precede Purtell's talk. Refreshments will follow. The public is invited to attend and participate.
