Comments from Board Members
Dee Costoso addressed the issue of the HOA needing volunteers to help with events. It is not possible for the Board members to put on some events without help, especially when they involve moving and setting up tables and chairs. Dee will start soliciting volunteers and set up a Volunteer Committee.
