Alberta and the garden club decorate for 4 seasons. 4th of July is normally not a wreath, but included in the $1200.00 budget. The board also agreed 4 more wreath frames may be purchased. That way the wreaths can be worked on, while the current season wreath is on display.
The board agreed to bring back Yard of the Month.
Kenny will make a new sign. As our last sign was stolen.
Jessica will try to find a picture of the old sign for reference.
Rick confirmed power for Christmas lights will be available at the entrances by next Christmas.
Clubhouse
Ladder will be placed for sell.
Board agreed to buy 8ft commercial grade ladder from the McCartys for $80.00. It will be much easier to maneuver than the “goliath” ladder in the clubhouse now, which requires at least two people to move it.
