• Terri reported that the committee met to discuss ways to increase membership. Although there was lots of discussion no decisions were made. A number of options were presented to the board. Terri moved that flyers be attached to mailboxes. One side of the flyer would address the Neighborhood Watch (NW) Meeting and the other side would encourage joining the association.
