  2. We discussed planning an event around the new trolley on Michigan Ave.  We will have to investigate where it stops and times.
  3. We discussed projects to promote a sense of community.  We still would like to do a packet of info for new members.  We also would like to have better signs to announce meetings.  We decided these projects should be put before the entire group.
