Welcome/Approve Agenda - Christine
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, we held a virtual meeting on Zoom conferencing software. The Quarterly Meeting was called to order by President Christine LaPense at 6:10 p.m. Minutes of the meeting are detailed below:
Christine reviewed the proposed agenda:
- Holiday get together
- Mosquito control for 2021
- Game nights
- Traveling dinner nights
- Fall/winter cleanup date
- Spring cleanup
- Providing membership (not mosquito spraying) to those those outside of ElkForest
- Updating website (officers/directors)
- Anything more anyone wanted to discuss
David Silverman made a motion to approve the agenda which was seconded by Kathy. All attendees were in favor and the motion was approved.
- Holiday get together – Due to Covid, will be postponed
- Mosquito control for 2021- Christine had suggested contacting Kirkwood Pest as an alternative to Erlich. Cris suggested first separating the role of mosquito control away from Treasurer. Traditionally the President had the responsibility. Christine agreed to take on the role of mosquito control purveror and contract administrator.
- Traveling dinner nights- Due to Covid, will be postponed
- Spring cleanup-Moved to March before undergrowth becomes an obstacle to cleanup efforts.
- Providing membership (not mosquito spraying) to those outside of ElkForest- David Silverman reinterated that due to the by-laws, only ElkForest Community property owners could join. There was a question of Mrs. Stubbs joining and whether she still owned property in the community.
- Updating website- Dave Mitchell would be more than happy to post officers/directors list or anything else. Just send him the info. Dave reminded everyone about the new host/server.
- Anything else- June brought up the idea of updating the by-laws and including the webmaster as an officer. Kathy mentioned that it had been updated under her reign as President. At that point, it had not been updated in over 20 yrs and had been a lot of work. Good idea to revisit.
Treasurer’s Report/Mosquito Spraying – Cris Brookmyer

Motion to Adjourn Meeting – A motion was made by Christine to adjourn the meeting; Kathy seconded the motion. All in favor. Meeting adjourned at 6:45 p.m.
