Milton Sweet Tea Society Luncheon – April 25
About 25 attended, including 6 from Better Together. No formal
program was presented. The attendees ate, visited and met new friends.
Nancilee and Sharon shared the event’s highlights. Suggestions for
future events included: Share the luncheon goals and objectives, expand
attendee introductions so participants can become acquainted with as
many people as possible and send an evite out for the next event that
includes a participant’s food category sign-up section.
Adopt-a-Road Clean-up – April 26
Barbara reported that the trash bags have not been picked up. A work
order has been issued for this to take place this week. The Better
Together sign will be one of the first to be placed on our section of
Thompson Road during the next two weeks.
