Business Update

Budgeting for committee work was scheduled for this meeting, but due to low attendance at the evening’s meeting the topic will be added to the April meeting agenda. Each committee (Beautification, Communication, and Events) will meet prior to the April 24, 2008 meeting to create a 2008 budget proposal that includes items in priority order. (The committee heads will select a time and location for their committees to meet and submit the information to Hanne Weedon by Friday, April 4, 2008. Hanne will then email the GGCA mailing list with the information to alert any interested parties so that could attend.)

Expanding the page count of the newsletter was raised, primarily to include additional pages for historic preservation information. Michelle Hiscott will check with Tom Hiscott to see if this is feasible.

A letter was sent to the Lansdowne mayor, borough manager, and three borough council members who live in Gladstone Manor, thanking them for borough funding for 2007, for signs on the island, a fence by the SEPTA station, and sidewalk repair. A request was made to consider Gladstone Manor when preparing the 2008 budget.
