7. Activities: Carol A. a.) The AGAM luncheon today will be at La Olla.
b.) Carol asked for input re future pot luck meals and whether we wanted them directly after the meetings. The majority of responses indicated that that works best for most members, so we will have pot luck brunches!
c.)The Gaslight Theatre is tonight and 2 tickets are available. Dinner will be at Macayo’s @ 5:00 PM.
d.) Jorge will be coordinating the trip to Pima Air and Space Museum. Carol stressed the need to arrive early as there are no pre-assigned seats. Lunch will be at The Flight Deck Restaurant.
e.) More people are needed for Carrabbas and by announcing this at the meeting, Vi managed to get the number required, which was 20.
f.) 3 members are signed up for the luau but we have no drivers. Anyone interested in attending the luau on Aug. 20th should contact Carol. Tickets for the luau are available at the HOA office. g.) Another event has been scheduled for August. On Aug. 26th, dinner will be at Bubb’s Grub at 5:00 PM – you know- the restaurant with the great Walleye Pike!
8. Group Concerns: a.) Larry shared the nightmare story of having a broken main sewer pipe and how the situation was resolved – much to the relief of both Larry and Jeanne. Pima County fixed it at no cost to them.
b.) Magda told a cute story about seniors finding a lot of money (a joke of course!).
9. Adjournment: Frank adjourned the meeting at 9:58 AM .
