organization designated by Helen Sommerkamp.
Distribution of flyers and other program Information: this subject
was discussed in reference to enhancing the “passing of the word” about
upcoming programs as developed by the E & C committee. It was
agreed that beginning with the September 2008 meeting, the individuals
who are acting as coordinator(s) for an event or program should develop
any appropriate flyers and bring them to the committee meeting which
precedes the date of the event. The purpose in doing so is to
enable the committee members to assist in the distribution of the
announcements in a timely way. The coordinator should use the
copier in the HOA office and usage should be approximately one ream of
paper. If a colored, paper is desired the coordinator should
purchase the ream and save the receipt for reimbursement.
