d.) Dick J. and Jim A. reported on the flag project. This project was accepted at the HOA work session and it now goes on the consent agenda tonight.

The project will most likely not be complete until July 4th.
e.) Jeanne mentioned that our “group identification” album needs a name. She and Val thought that “SCRCR Who’s Who” might be appropriate. The members all seemed to agree. Walt shared that Val and Richard were offered some assistance to help defray the costs involved in creating this album, but, to date, they have not accepted any monetary assistance.
