Unfinished Business:
-Nason, parking lot & driveway was not done up to our standards but the contract does not specify what we wanted so we are moving on rather than sue and risk spending money to lose

-Vacuum - maybe a roomba vacuum
-Printer - currently using the old one without color. Sending out jobs for flyers.
-Meet and Greet - at every church service and people like it
-By-laws - someone will set up a chat to talk about reading the by-laws and understanding them
-Robert’s Rules are used when our by laws do not address a situation
-Secretary will send out notifications a week before the board meeting with zoom link to all HLSC members. Angel will get an email list to Diane.
New Business:
-Roof and Storage Shed- hole on the back corner of garage #2 where tin was blown off. Frame board on garage #2 needs to be repaired. Perhaps paint lines- at least for the handicap walkway. Cannot facilitate boats and campers-too tall and unable to move. Terri will see if her relative will have time to fix the hole in the roof.
-Safe Discussion- Angel is going to call the company that manufactured the safe we have to see if we can make it work. If not then Angel will get what she needs for a safe to hold all the important papers. Motion was made, seconded and all were in favor.
-A motion was made, seconded and all were in favor to allow Angel Downing to step into the Treasurer’s Position that was left vacant by member leaving due to illness. Angel will hold this position along with her Trustee position. Tara Gilmartin will take on the Trustee position along with her Vice President position. These ladies will maintain these positions until the next membership meeting at which time we will vote on going back to 5 (five) board members.

- Member Application process may be discussed at a later date.
- Talk about the possibility of videotaping the Wednesday night services
