OLD BUSINESS

Newsletter:

Ralph reported on the status of the June newsletter. The proofs/galleys that he sent to the board members shows the newsletter to be 11 pages long, which he thinks may be too long. There was discussion regarding shortening a couple of the stories. Ralph indicated that he could possibly make his article a two part story.

There was discussion regarding inserting a membership form into the newsletter. It was decided to just print a comment in the newsletter that would let people know to go to our website if they are interested in joining HPNA.

Ralph reported that National Night Out is August 3rd and that he will post the event in the newsletter, as well as the information that the Centennial Church will be hosting it. Ralph wants to put something in the newsletter to thank all the businesses that donated gift certificates for the community meetings.
