• We are going redistribute a copy of the Bylaws so that everyone is assured to have a copy of the original sets that we all received at our closing. It will be in a manila envelope which you will receive the first week of April. When this arrives throw your other stuff away and keep the certified version. Some people from the community were nice enough to volunteer making copies and distributing them. We appreciate that help and would appreciate more.
• The collecting data for creating the website. We are deciding if we should register a domain. It was recommend that we register a domain which is about $180 per year. $15 to register the name and $7-$10 a month for the server space. This would save the association money by getting people to sign up as electronic only homeowners. This would save on paper and postage. If 70% of the community receives their bill online it will offset the cost financially.

• The Association has budgeted for a block party again this year. We are soliciting ideas and dates as input. We will have raffles and games but make it an actual block party by closing of the street. We would like to see it in the early summer so that people can meet each other before we go back in for the winter.
