MEETING ADJOURNED Rob Welch made a motion to adjourn the meeting. The motion was seconded by Susan Holland and approved by majority vote. The meeting was adjourned at 8:15PM by Rob Welch. AMENDMENT:* 1. 2. 3. Matt Reeves has booked a BARBECUE SOCIAL for the residents at the pool on Saturday, July 28 th from 7-9PM. Copies of an updated directory with e-mail addresses and names of known homes that are renting were sent to Susan Holland as treasurer and Barry Smith as President of the HOA. Some residents have commented that an all adult party, similar to the Luau of past years would be nice. Do we want to set this up for September or early October and support it or charge a fee to attend for the band or DJ, as was done in the past? Would this be a time to think about Susan Hollands dance platform over the pool idea or could boards be put down on the tennis courts or follow up on the block party idea? (Rick, please send feedback or post on the web page for comments. Thanks!) The next planned event is the Childrens Halloween Party/Costume Judging on Wednesday, October 31, and the fall issue of Normans News will be out before that event. Submitted by: Cheryl Smith
