No further news to report at this time from the July 2019 meeting with Pickett Law LLC.
Tiffany Geare reports that she is planning the annual village-wide block party that is scheduled for Saturday, October 5 from 3 to 7 p.m., but she will be unable to attend. She will need to appoint someone from the Social Committee to oversee party operations for that day. Last year’s entertainment, John Luskey, is unavailable that day, and we’ll need to find another entertainer. We will be inviting vendors to set up tables at the party. There will be a popcorn vendor. Last year we had a $1,500 budget and we’ll keep it at that level. We need reserve a bounce house. We need to find traffic cones to keep people off people’s yards.
The annual luminaries event is scheduled for December 14, however, we need to find a new organizer. Heather Matz proposes that we pair the event with a holiday home tour—an event where residents visit other homes to see their holiday decorations.
