- New Architectural Committee Members needed – both volunteers are moving, need to replace. Jim will draft something for Erica to post on FB, and for Stephanie to put in Newsletter.

- Dog waste “Good evening,
Lately, I have been finding bags of dog waste at the bottom of my trash cans. Without realizing, I pile my own trash in there, unknowingly compacting the dog waste at the bottom of the bin which creates a mess and awful cleanup. I have also noticed dog excrements in my yard and along the swirly slide park trail. Would you mind please reminding our neighbors to be more considerate and responsible with their dogs? I appreciate your time and attention to this matter. Sincerely, Boramy Nginn” Could Stephanie draft an article for the newsletter?
