SHA BOARD OF DIRECTORS MINUTES
MAY 2000
Minutes of the August 13, 2001 Meeting.
The Stonehenge Board meeting with held on August 13th at Sharon Miller's
house. Persons attending were: Sharon LeDuc, Toby Sarver, Renee
Sarver, Fran Johnson, Eileen Francis, Wray Gillette, Don Collum, Sharon
Miller, David Smith, Nancy Ritter, and Diane Lahti (did I miss anyone?)
Nancy gave a Treasurer's report. We current have $6,000 in a CD and
$5400 in our checking account. Year to date revenues are $3500 and year
to date expense is $1800. Based upon membership deposits, we estimate
that membership is approximately 245 for the year. It was requested
that we confirm the membership total with Laurie Olin for the next
meeting.
Diane announced that the August pool party has been canceled.
David Smith was asked if his brother had submitted a bid for the pine
straw business. David said that his brother would sell straw for $4.25
to $4.50 per bale. The previous vendor charged $4.75 per bale. The
group passed a motion that David be given discretion to choose the pine
straw vendor as long as there was no compromise on price or quality.
Don Collum reported that Jo Naglich has communicated with him regarding
the computer training service project at Springmoor. Don will get in
touch with Jo to request an article regarding this project for the next
newsletter. Nancy Ritter said that she had contacts at Springmoor who
might be of assistance.
Renee said that she had located services on the internet that provide
ideas for scavenger hunts. She said that she was unsure what kind of
time or financial commitment would be required. It was suggested that
we include something on the membership form to survey interest in social
activities. In view of the current date, it was suggested that the next
social event be postponed until the spring.
Eileen Francis reported that the Women's Network will sponsor a
Halloween parade for the neighborhood. It was noted that we have
historically helped with the funding for the clown and other expenses.
Eileen said that several of the Network officers were meeting to discuss
plans for the year. They hoped to revive the luminary project. A major
problem in addition to declining participation has been lack of
volunteer help to assemble and distribute kits. Sharon Miller
volunteered to serve as a contact point for the board in addition to
Eileen. Diane suggested that the board consider sponsoring a luminary
display at the pool with possibly some sort of social function at the
same time such as refreshments or music. Eileen said that obtaining the
labor to pull that sort of project off might be difficult. Diane said
that if the obstacles were financial, we should consider using
association money since we have a surplus of cashflow this year and the
money should be put back into the community.
The board was reminded that Leo Hoarty will be attending next month to
discuss the directory with us. It was suggested that we put together
some suggestions for a survey form to discuss while he is present.
Diane and Renee volunteered to work on some ideas. It was mentioned
that we might try to include recruitment for block captain and/or
volunteers to distribute directories. Toby is to contact Steve Boase to
explore the possibility of putting a survey on our website.
A discussion was held regarding setting up e-groups. Don reminded us
that there can be security issue if anyone can log on. In particular,
people have been known to log on to yahoo groups to gather email
addressed for solicitation purposes. Toby volunteered to do further
research in this area. Eileen volunteered to help get email groups
going and will coordinate with Toby.
The next newsletter is to be distributed at the end of September.
Articles should be submitted to Don by the 15th. Articles slated for
publication include:
1. pine straw order form
2. luminary order form
3. article on Springmoor project
4. articles on new construction projects
5. article on job search support groups
Wray Gillette reported that the property located behind the Food Lion
shopping center is being considered for rezoning. A group will be
meeting with a developer who wants to put up 90 condo units. There was
also a discussion of a project going up on Ray Road which will impact
Stonehenge. A written memo with contact information was given to Wray
so that he can follow up and get information about this project in the
next newsletter.
Diane reminded the group that we started the year with the intention of
making our best attempt to revitalize our organization and keep it
going. We have been successful at recruiting new persons to provide
leadership. We still need to decide by year end whether or not we want
to continue. It is time to consider who is willing to be an officer
next year. Diane indicated that she can not continue in her present
role indefinitely and that it is time for someone with new, fresh ideas
to have an opportunity to mold our organization. It may be that we want
to set up a shared presidency to cope with work schedules etc.
Let me take this opportunity to again thank all of you for your
efforts. I am very optimistic about our future prospects. Please let
me know if you have additions to or corrections to these minutes.
