Some questions answered about the Open Meeting law...

"The Open Meeting Law does not apply to a chance meeting,
or a social gathering at which matters relating to official business are discussed so long as no final agreement is reached.
Nor does it apply to an on-site inspection of a project or program by a governmental body."

Meeting minutes from second meeting - May 21st 2009

Minutes of Thursday at April 16th (first FOS meeting)
 

The main focus of this group is to look toward the future of Southbridge rather than being stuck on the negativity of the past.
We prefer to accentuate all the positives that our town has to offer to its residents, potential residents and business prospects.
We respect differing views and opinions which will make us more knowledgable to the issues at hand.
