Lunch at Luke’s was canceled due to lack of interest.
The Aug. 31st luncheon has been changed to the Wildflower Grill at Ina and Oracle since we will be going to Mt Lemmon for Octoberfest on Sept 25th.
Barbara reported that for that event (Octoberfest), we will carpool @ 10:00AM. There is a parking fee of $3.00 - $5.00 (the amount will be determined before we go). We will be having lunch at the Iron Door – menu options will be determined at a later date.
Don’t forget the Gaslight Theater on Sept 21st - “The Vampire”!!
7.Group Concerns: a.) It’s good to have John Lambert back. He reported that the town of Marana has no plans to landscape along Silverbell Rd. There will be no increase in HOA dues this year.
b.) Gladys suggested that it would be a help for those attending the Concert in the Park performances to carpool. Magda wondered why the shuttles couldn’t be used and John stated that they are county vehicles.
c.) JoAnn shared that on July 24th at 7:30 PM there will be a performance of The Theater in the Park.
d.) Barbara H. cautioned us about having vigilance in our neighborhoods re thefts and vandalism. Joan M. added that thefts and break-ins have taken place via residents’ garages – be sure to close your garage doors!
