FOLLOW-UP

What other agenda items should we have for the quarterly meeting?

Ø Karen, can you please check on Bethel Lutheran, make sure they are expecting us.

Ø Scott, can you please follow up with the paper to make sure out meeting is announced.

Ø Chuck, I don't remember if you had a suggestion about the pop or not. Do you have any suggestions.

Ø Lee, please send out the post cards next week Tuesday so they get there on time. Oh yea, that's me.....

That's about it. I'll put this together a little better for the presentation on the 25th. 

Talk it up around your neighborhood so we get a good turnout and we can tell someone new about the block party.

I have mentioned the block party to no less than 10 people in the area.

Everyone thinks its a great idea. I think we're on to something here..........

Thanks all,
