Board of Directors Meeting Minutes January 14, 2003

Jan 19, 2003

In attendance: Kathryn Sharpe, Nelson Bock, Paul Brothe, Don Gortner

Because of the low attendance and lack of a quorum, it was not possible to hold elections for the position of President and Vice President. A suggestion was made to hold the election on-line and provide votes to Nelson Bock. Nominated as President, is Nelson Bock. Nominated as Vice President, is Kathryn Sharpe. Please send your votes directly to Nelson Bock at: Nbock6552@aol.com. Until voting occurs, Nelson will continue to be the acting President. Please submit your vote by January 31, 2003.

Neighborhood Web Site:

Don Gortner gave a tour of the neighborhood web site. Don has recently updated the information on the site, added links and has assumed the web master role. The site will be sent as a link in an upcoming e-mail to all residents on the e-mail list. Good job, Don.

The next meeting date was not set. An informal meeting schedule is likely to result from the low turn out at the meeting.
