Minutes from the March 8, 2004

Meeting of Martin Drive Neighborhood Association


Attendance

We had 26 neighbors in attendance with no specific speaker.  It appeared that everyone who needed to address a concern did take the opportunity.

Spring Newsletter

Ada Rouse volunteered to publish our spring newsletter.  She asked if those who want to write an article for the newsletter would please send it to her or drop it off at her house.  Her email is adarouse@msn.com.  Carlyon also offered to help Ada.

** We want to inform our neighbors that a man has been ringing doorbells wanting to rake people's yards.  The police have been notified and we encourage anyone coming in to contact with this person to also call the police or perhaps notify us about his purpose or reasons for this behavior.
