Two residents donated their $25.00 deposits to the Cooperative - They are Sharon Raymond and Ruth Jones of Lambert St, and Florence and Nicholas Gallo of Murphy Drive. Our warm thanks to these folks for their support.
7. Owner/Management Report - Joyce Southerton informed the Board of Directors that the publishing of a press release from WROC regarding "Affordable Great Locations" (AGL) has resulted in a disservice to our park and its management. AGL is in no way and has never been a part of Morgan Management. Residents have been calling regarding this article and are under the mistaken notion that our owners are the principals involved in this. They are not affiliated in any way with AGL and requests are made to please stop calling the office about a matter of which they have no knowledge.

Subsequent to the passing of those By-Laws, a Gypsum Mills Cooperative Procedural Manual was developed which explains in detail the various operation of the Board of Directors and its various committees, forms and procedures. On a motion by Art Caputo, both the By-Laws and its accompanying manual were affirmed by the Board of Directors by a unanimous vote.
2. Social Committee- St. Patrick's Day Dinner for March 20 is sold out. Donna and Bob Zinc are planning a Social for April 17^th. On April 18 we are having the annual Open House where sign-ups for the various summer activities will take place: Bocce, Shuffleboard, Swim Passes, etc. The Board will provide the punch.
