Entrance spot lights and outlets- The job is complete.  Many thanks to Wil Leister, Blaise Simone and Richard Saywell for all of their efforts.  The Christmas lights will now be safe.  This cost was $216.82.

Pit Bulls- There was discussion on whether to send a follow up letter to an owner who reportedly has a pit bull.  There has been no response from the owner after being served the first letter.  It is not clear if the dog is really a pit bull and the board would like clarification.  SCM will send a follow up letter requesting a response from the owner.

Yard Sale – Ray indicated that the yard sale was a success and expressed sincere thanks to Cheryl Nealon who heads it up.  It was also requested that she remove the preview date and make the sale Friday and Saturday for next year’s ad.

NEW BUSINESS -
Meeting location – Ray suggested moving the location for the meeting due to the quarantine and various changes in rooms at the Health Center.  Several options were considered.  The most likely would be the Moose Lodge since it is available and dinner could be an option before the meetings.  Ray asked that others look around for additional options.
