From a financial perspective, WECA cannot survive long-term without additional
members. Paying members. Thanks.

Good morning
My thoughts are that as we are creating the bylaws etc, we state that we are a
"community". I think we should host the party on Saturday night as our goal is
to reach out to the community and the building be a unifier to our neighbors.
If we want to draw more member and more neighbors, we need to be more neighbor
friendly. A proverb says "He that winneth souls is wise" -
The custom has always been to have the party on Halloween night but I believe
that we should adjust the party this season and have it Saturday night. We
could still be opened on Halloween evening hand out candy as well to the
children that may walk the neighborhood.
As we want to follow through with the article that was written up about the
WEST END CIVIC ASSOCIATION...how we are rebuilding and being an example etc.
we need to be the example
We are diligently working on obtaining insurance so that we can be covered and
safe. Hopefully it will be taken care of prior to the date

(Note to self, send separate emails in the future when having two
different events in the subject.)
Meet the Candidates Night
I forgot (thanks Ed for letting me know) to state that we already have
a board meeting schedule for 10/16 at 7PM, and if we were to take that
date for the meet the candidates night, then we would need to change
our board meeting date/time.
I suggest changing the date for the board meeting.
6 month break out for Board of Director meetings
1.August 21st 7pm
2.September 18th 7pm
3.October 16th 7pm
4.November 20th 7pm
5.December 18th 7pm
First WECA Member meeting: Monday September 11th 7pm
Thank you.

My suggestion will be to go with the Saturday date to get more
participation. I was informed that most of the families go
trick-or-treating on Halloween night up at the town homes. Most would
rather have the party over the weekend so they can still do the traditional
door to door with their kids. We have never had any trick-or-treaters since
we lived here so my family goes to my sister's neighborhood each year.

I am not saying this is absolutely how we need to do things, but
Halloween evening is when it was done in the past. A majority of the
setup can still be done on Saturday. I believe this was introduced as
an alternative to trick-or-treating door to door on the hill years
ago. And since typically the trick-or-treaters go out on the last day
of October, that is why I proposed that date.
Thanks.

I absolutely agree to having both events if we can. I suggest the
Halloween
event take place the 28th, the weekend before Halloween. Most of the
families with young children would prefer the weekend instead of a
school/work night and we would have more time to prepare and set up
during
the day then we would on a work day.

Hi Board.
Would you please let me know if you agree with the following two
proposed events. At the very minimum I propose that we must have
insurance on the building prior to hosting any events. It would be
absolutely horrible if someone was injured in any way, and if that
person needed to take legal action to cover medical and
pain/suffering. Without insurance in that horrible scenario, the
association would lose its assets (i.e. the building).
Meet the Candidates Night
I spoke with Mrs. Scott about the event Bill Wall proposed to us
during the Board meeting. She answered a bunch of my questions. I
think this event will be very doable by us. It mostly will come down
to providing a venue for the event, not too much in organizing is
necessary since the committeemen for each party would take care of
putting the invitation out to each candidate. They would organize with
us when the list of participants is known,. Each candidate would get a
few minutes (based upon how many participants) to speak, and then
there would be a set number of minutes for questions, then on to the
next candidate, and so on. After the last candidate, we would conclude
the event.
Mrs. Scott already has a couple documents which will get us off and
moving in the correct direction. One is the agenda document, and one
is a flyer.
Meet the Candidates Night
Proposed date: Monday 10/16/2017, 7PM to 9PM
2 Hour event
Halloween Party
If we are able to host a candidates night, then why couldn’t we host a
Halloween party, right? Ideally we will have an Activities Committee
after the general membership meeting (on 9/11/2017), to run with this.
Halloween Party
Proposed date: Tuesday 10/31/2017, 6PM to 8PM
2 Hour event
I need not mention, but will anyway, the positive reasons for hosting
these two events. The community will see that we are indeed active,
involved, and growing.
Thank you, and take care.
