Summary 10/24 Coffee and Donuts

Summary Oct 24 Breakfast in the Park meeting.

I know...I miss the videos too. I'll try to get back to doing them, but while Patrick had the process down pat, I do not. It's a lot of uploading which takes a lot of time and....ok, enough excuses. For now, I'll just post a summary of today's Coffee and Donuts meeting:

Twila spoke briefly about an event the Cobblestone Parks are contributing to called "Wreaths Across America". They are encouraging staff and residents in the communities to buy beautiful wreathes to lay on the burial sites of soldiers. The wreaths are $13.00. There is more information in the Upcoming Events Section of Desertscape.life.

Sheri Kramer spoke next about the upcoming elections for Board Members. The nominating period has ended, and the nominees will be announced at next week's Coffee and Donuts.

The Board could use two volunteers to help out with Breakfast in the Park. BONUS: Volunteers eat for free. Call Sheri if you can lend a hand at 630-360-1763.

The following upcoming events were discussed:

Breakfast in the Park, Saturday Nov. 1st 8:30-9:30

Yard Sale, November 14 and 15. There will be a table or two at the Clubhouse available for crafters selling their goods. Mary, as always, will be helping out by selling hot dogs, chips and beverages,

Allison agreed to do social media for the event.

Colleen and another resident mentioned that the RV park does not get notified of upcoming events and they would like to help by distributing flyers to the homes. Sheri invited them to the upcoming Board meeting to talk about how that work.

That's about it for this week.

As many of you know, I have purchased a home in Surprise and will be relocating shortly. Thus, at the board meeting on July 10, I resigned my position as President. Until new elections are held, Sheri as Vice President will be taking over my duties immediately. I appreciate the opportunity to be your president for the past couple of years. I have every confidence that Sheri and the board will continue to provide the great services you have become accustomed to.

April 19th Association Meeting

The Board has decided that due to limited attendance at the Association Meetings, that we would move the Association Meetings to Friday at 10:00 in lieu of or in conjunction with Coffee and Donuts. We understand that many of you work or have other reasons why you cannot attend on Friday’s, but since these sessions are recorded and are available on the Website, we feel the Friday option is best for most residents.

Jill announced that she has been appointed a Volunteer Director and will be in charge of servers and cleaning up at our events. Be ready for her call.

Michael gave the Association bank balance as $3,525.50. We just renewed our web page at $250 dollars or so. Also, he promoted the Association email address as “dscassociation@yaho.com”. Use this address to contact the Association with concerns, questions, questions you’d like to have address in the Association meeting.

Leslie brought up a petition about feral cats. A lengthy discussion was had about what Cobblestone will do about the cats, and Cobblestone has repeatedly said they will not be active in the trapping or disposition of the ferals. They have made some traps available and will reimburse you $75.00 for spay/neuter fee. If they find you are feeding cats, you may be evicted.

Meeting was adjourned.
