Reminder - Board members - Be there at 6pm to make up for the canceled meeting from the 7th.
Saturday, January 23rd - The Washington Park Holiday Decorations cleanup will be at 11:00am on Saturday, January 23rd. We will be removing the 2009 Holiday Decorations at Washington Park, and will pack them away for next year. We need all the help we can get to complete this task. The more hands we can get to help out means less time everyone needs to be out in the cold. The group is still looking for a person with a truck who can help us transport the decorations to our storage area. Also, we can use a ladder or two to remove the decorations on street lights and park gazebo. If you would like to help us please contact, Nathan Lange, Community Development VP, natlange75@yahoo.com or Craig Finch, Community Involvement Director, cfinch83@gmail.com We will also have a signup sheet at our January 21 General Membership Meeting.
