Please join us for our next board meeting Tuesday, April 7, 7-9 PM.

Meeting Time: 7PM-9PM
Open to Public: All welcome to attend

Three big focuses:
  1. Finalizing the general meeting agenda and invitees for May 26th. Please come with ideas (and review last month’s board meeting minutes to refresh yourself on what we brainstormed);
  2. Nailing down the newsletter articles;
  3. Board recruitment for May 26th elections (This includes board retention! Everyone needs to indicate if you’re in for another year. Hope so!).
We have a few other pieces of business, of course, but those are the big three.

Hope to see you there!

Posted on by

Committee and Interested Neighbors,
It appears that the only real agenda item we have for our meeting this week is the review of the Committee Charter (thank you to Sharron and Susan for providing the draft).  Since this is not time sensitive, I am cancelling the meeting this Thursday.
See you in April.
Have a good St. Patrick’s Day!!
Kelly
