- Fall Festival – Should we ask to join the pool’s Truck-or-Treat celebration or hold our own event? Jenny Raymer, Jennie Deveaux, and possibly Jen Blackford will make recommendation to the board at a later date. (Jen Blackford volunteered last year to help, but was not in attendance for this meeting). At this time we are unsure if we will be able to get the Fall Festival games out of storage in time. They are in long term storage due to Jennie’s house fire.
- Should the RCA host a neighborhood pet parade? Discussed, but nothing set in place.
- CERT update from Christine Brim – may possibly have a CERT training event Rutherford at a later date.
- RCA Website – Christine Brim and Evan are working on this. Using Word Press. They will look at King’s Park West and Mantua’s neighborhood websites for ideas.
