Presidents Council Report

People from the FCC will be here to help residents get ready for the digital TV changeover.

Having a dedication for the peace pole was suggested. Jesse Thomas from the peer advisors wants to take some pictures and residents will be interviewed. We need to decide if we want to keep the pole inside or not. There would be a cost involved with getting it put in concrete if we move it outside.

The picnic will take place on Saturday, June 27th. A $5.00 reservation fee is requested if you are going to attend. See Melissa Pappas to sign up and pay that fee. You will receive a receipt that you need to get on the bus and to get your $5.00 back at the picnic. Deadline for sign up is June 12th.
