Newsletter:Daphne will continue to organize the newsletter. She asked for suggestions on content, surveys and general interest for the JCCA website. She is gathering survey questions which should generate additional interest from the residents. She will include a place on the website for residents to “register” if interested. This will give us current information on each resident in the subdivision.
