Donna Harding stated that she would like to purchase through a grant a shatter proof mirror that folds up for the use of her tai chi class. This mirror would be at no cost to the town and she feels it would benefit other classes that are held at the gym. She would like to be able to store this mirror somewhere, preferably in the meeting room.
