8 Group Concerns:
a.) No hiking for the summer, but Jorge commented on the fun time that was had at Nana’s Kitchen on Cinco de Mayo.
b.) John Lambert had much to tell us about HOA issues. He stressed that he would like to resolve the misinformation problem re the YMCA open house and if anyone knows who gave that info out, please contact him. He also reminded us of the concert at Marana Crossroads Park on Saturday, May 8th. The HOA has donated money toward this and a good turnout would be appreciated. The concerts need more sponsors and better attendance. Check out the new brickwork at the HOA office. This project cost $13,000 less than repairing the previous concrete. The pool behind the Community Center is complete and now open. This project did cost $13,000. New face recognition cameras are in the works, hopefully, to help eliminate the vandalism going on in our community
c.) Lynn shared that there will be a Republican Party Kick-off BBQ at Windmill Park on Saturday May 8th @ 4:00pm.
d.) Mike R. told us about a concert downtown at the Fox Theater on Sat. May 8th from 7:00 to 10:00 pm.: free concert and free parking. The folk music concert last week was very good.
