September Meeting

I have sent out an email to everyone regarding the monthly meeting for September. It has been suggested to me that we change the meeting day from Thursday to Saturday each month going forward. In order to do that, we need to vote on this issue. In the email that I sent out, I asked that each of you please send your preference to me as to which day suits you the best. The responses that I receive will be considered your vote and a decision will be made based on the majority vote. For anyone reading this that did not get the email, please email your vote to:
sunsetvillageneighborhood@hotmail.com. I will post the results in the next few days on this website. Please make sure that you send you vote in as soon as possible as we have a meeting scheduled for next week and we need to get flyers printed and distributed.

Just so everyone knows, some of the issues that we need to discuss at our next meeting are:

1) Volunteers - we need volunteers for various board positions, committees, etc. Right off I can think of one committees that needs a chairperson and volunteers. That's the trash pick-up committee. I'm sure you guys have noticed that there is lots of trash littering up our neighborhood. In order to make the Association a real success, we must all participate. We also need volunteers for printing and distribution of the monthly flyers.

2) Speed Bumps - several people have asked whether we are still going to get speed bumps. As far as I'm concerned, we are. This is something that we need to discuss and vote on at the next meeting.

3) Speed Limit Signs - again, several people have asked whether we are going to get speed limit signs. We are but first all of the streets in the neighborhood need to be turned over to the City. I will follow up on the status of this and advise everyone at the meeting next week.

4) Board Members - we have several vacancies on the Board and we will nominations or volunteers to fill those positions immediately. Our bylaws state that a position on the Board will not remain open for more than 2 consecutive months. Please come prepared to give suggestions / nominations.

5) Neighborhood Watch - we need to discuss block captains, fill several open positions for block captains and make sure that we have completed forms for everyone in the neighborhood.

6) Neighborhood Activities - we need to discuss any neighborhood activities that we would like to plan. Several suggestions have been made for the following: Block parties, cookouts and a community yard sale. Please be prepared to give any ideas and suggestions that you have on this subject as well.

Thanks and I look forward to receiving a response from everyone about the meeting date and look forward to seeing you all at the meeting.

Thanks,
Rebecca
