6. Friendship Alliance – Roger Kew suggested the Neil Carman replace him on the FA Board since he has great expertise in this area. He has agreed. The Board approved this appointment.

The information will be discussed at the GMM in October.

10. Pool Report – John form Pool-Aide came and replaced the pool filter that was old and very clogged. Troy will install an above ground sprinkler system at the pool so Jeanine doesn’t have to spend so much time moving the sprinkler. The shower faucet has been found in the “on” position several times this season so we are trying to locate a valve to limit the time the shower faucet stays on. Jeanine has requested that pool parties with over 30 guests be required to order a porta-potty to handle toilet problems. Mary will contact Eli to see if this was ever a problem in previous years before we institute this rule.
