B. Publicity/Communications
i Cory Pahl stated that he is still waiting to hear from Wix about the glitch that occurred in the spring in regards to special trash payments.
ii The fall newsletter will be sent out with “current resident” on the address label. Sept.15 is the deadline to add information to the newsletter.
C. Events
i The National Night Out saw more than 240 residents in attendance. Having the event in one place seemed to be more effective. Kona Ice ran out of slushies before the end of the event.
ii There was some discussion on the use of a tent for the picnic. Because we will only need the tent for one weekend, the cost should be about half of what was spent last year.
iii A proposal to have a “Movie in the Park” was tabled for discussion at a later meeting. If accepted it would have to be in the budget for next year.
iv The food trucks have been a great success. Three more are scheduled for this year.
