I propose we increase membership fees and registration fees for future starting July 1. Costs are skyrocketing because of inflation and gas prices.

Opening Party Format: Summer Session I The Family Fun Day was a flop. Nathan, Mak, Meg had suggestion to do the next party “off property” and “on the water”.

Hi everyone. Unfortunately, since my last email, the Day at the Docks committee has met and decided to cancel most aspects of the event, including the artist’s and community organization areas.

He is willing to accept and has been supportive and offered us assistance in several ways including donations and […]
