Mrs. Johnston mentioned the trees outside the Walker Center look good with the trim.

Mr. Miller suggested to caution it off to do our due diligence. Mr. Rodriguez also mentioned that the office has maintained a high level of professionalism and he is impressed. He also has gone by our property on Tulare and Reiker and says it needs to be cleaned. There has been a lot of growth on it and looks like a dump.
