Our Meeting July 28

We had new additions to the small group that is expanding to begin to talk about what activities make sense and can be started earliest.

Ideas today included:
Mother's Day Out program so that Moms can get a break to relax, shop, etc. while ''kid pooling'' at the Rec Ctr.
''Dance Your Pants Off'' exercise activity for any, all on a scheduled basis (sorry Richard Simmons, hope you do not mind we borrowed your idea).
Tutoring activities.
Parkwood Kids Website/Computer Club (kids teach other kids about computers and create websites for neighbors, etc.).

Next steps?
Collect all neighbor's email addresses to spread the word.
Talk it up at National Night Out block parties (Aug 7).
Ask Board of Directors of HOA to support volunteering activities for a formal Rec Ctr Committee (Aug 8).
Invite more to crowd around the tables at the pavilion at next meeting (Sep 8, noon).

Meeting -. Sep 15

Meeting moved to Sep 15 so many of us can attend the 18th Annual Neigborhood Conference scheduled Sep 8 (see calendar and NRC web site). We need community leaders, lots of them, of all ages, interests, skills, with varying amounts of time to give for their community. Last year's conference was just superb; expect this one to top last year's! Find an excuse to attend the Sep 8 conference and please share with us your ideas on Sep 15.
