The treasurer, Charles Hosler, passed out copies of his report. Arnold Martin asked the treasurer's report
for March be approved. The motion
passed.
UHAOH representative, Katherine Pennington, distributed the lovely
postcards to be mailed for the
Star-Gazing Party in Wingren Park on April 16th. She said TLCA would provide the labels both
for the Star-gazing event and the Spring-Fling.
Katherine announced Sherry McIntosh of TLCA code enforcement is
retiring and will be replaced by Nolan Meeks.
Properties in need of obvious care can be reported in a timely
manner Mr. Meeks. Several properties were discussed and will be
investigated.
Jim Wells said the directory is nearing completion and will be
published and distributed on time. We
are short on advertizing monies at the present time. He suggested using our Robo Calling service
for the star-gazing party. Fred Odell
motioned that we purchase $100 worth of service for enough calling capability
for both upcoming events. Martin Kahn
seconded the motion. The motion passed.
Fred Odell reported plans for the Spring-Fling were on schedule and all
the vendors are on line. He had
questions concerning:
1.To whom cards for the
Spring-Fling would be sent not on our regular mailing list.
2.The tax-exempt status of
the UHAOH. Several of the vendors needed
official paper work in order to pass along tax savings to us. Arnold said we are tax-exempt and Fred will
be given the forms to be filled out for the vendors.
3. Purchasing
liability insurance for the event.
Martin Kahn said we definitly need the insurance and Barbara Hull stated
that it can be purchased at a good rate on the internet.
Nell Anne Hunt praised Craig Boleman, a former UHAOH board member, for
designing the beautiful cards for Sta-Gazing.
She also passed out her monthly report to the board regarding the
real-estate status of University Hills properties.
Nell Anne said the plans for the 18th Great Flag Caper are
right on target. She was happy to report that this yearly event is now a 5013C
organization and any donations are tax-exempt. She is hoping that this new
status will attract more donors, as the expenses have grown to more than
$11,000.
Charles Schmidt motioned for our UHAOH to contribute the same amount to
the Great Flag Caper, as we have in the past, $1, 650. Arnold Martin seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
As the 4th of July is on a Monday, the potluck party for the
“flag planters,” will be on the second nite of the long holiday weekend,
Saturday, at Nell Anne's home at 6:00.
The Sta-Gazing is scheduled for Saturday, April 16, in Wingren
Park. For precautionary measures, Fred
asked that TLCA be sure and have the water turned off in the Park area.
Our block captain chief, Anna Walther, reported the deputy chiefs are
in dire need of block captains.
Pat Andres announced the Yard of the Month for April is at 100 Balboa
Court, the home of Tom and Jan Hopwood.
