Board
of Trustees Report ~
Meeting from 12/11/07
·
The
Board is looking into hiring someone on an “as need” basis to clear the walks
and stairs during inclement weather for the winter months.
·
We
have received about half of the pledge cards sent out. Please return yours if
you have not done so yet.
·
Leaves
have clogged the eaves spout over the ramp. Stan is hoping that the weather
will clear enough for him to rent a boom to clear them, which should solve some
of the ice buildup problem.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS, LADIES!
