007also think Paul the parish is still having their fish fry uh down on Willow Avenue on Fridays during L and I believe a fish sailing is $15 so uh little pricey I was told to feed a family at two or three maybe $60 you know so they're expensive but you're supporting yeah that's right for donation it's about what it is eaten Park anymore and but they do have peries they go fast true well Parkway has fish and they have their their stuffed shells are really good Annie how much is there is their fish do you know I think it's $10 but that's with everything right if it's if it's more than $10 it would surprise me but it's like I think that's 10 with two sides I think oh my goodness but I'm not sure
008really I can't remember that was last it's like the fish they if you get the fried fish it's basically two pieces of fish it's a lot like it's two sandwiches yeah might be wor worth the gas money to go out there probably barer Castle shanon plug there and green tree pool will be open this summer it just might close early I did see that that is that means that the swim team I assume so yeah it'll be open during that season it just might close the last couple weeks of August aome but thank you um we did meet an executive session previous to this meeting for uh personel and a student matter all right and that takes us into the superintendent's report Dr St thank you Mrs Don a three items uh for the board's
