Welcoming New Residents – Suggested Procedure
There was discussion regarding the considerable commitment this project
would take given that it will involve preparing and delivering welcoming
information to some 12-15 new families each month. Amanda reported that
it is her understanding that a program is currently in existence that is funded
by the business community. She said Bill Lusk is familiar with the efforts of
the business community and suggested that we discuss our project with him
before we proceed with our efforts. She added that we should also contact
Heather Testerman, Marketing Director for Milton’s Restaurant. Wayne to
follow-up with Bill and Heather.

The Committee will continue to discuss this activity.
