It was great seeing many of you at the annual meeting. Alex Thill gave a wonderful presentation on “strategies for creating a cohesive neighborhood landscape.” If you missed it, please see the video of the presentation below. You can download the PDF of the presentation here: https://docdro.id/JRRHhCp. On the last two pages there are several resources for those looking for landscaping ideas.
We also discussed the many accomplishments of our various committees over the past year, and you can see a summary of those accomplishments below. Thank you very much to everyone who shared their talents this year, it is inspiring and appreciated. If you would like to get involved, want to learn more about the association, or have an idea, please reach out to us by replying to this e-mail. We want to hear from everyone!
Finally, we thanked Patty Lorfeld for her years of enthusiastic service, and welcomed two new members to our Board of Directors: Anne Ruby and Mushe Subulwa. Anne and Mushe are both enthusiastic about Millers Bay and we are thrilled to have them step up to serve. If you have not met them I encourage you to chat them up at our next event, they are great.
