Our next monthly SABA meeting will be held this Wednesday, March 10 at 7:30. As usual, we will meet at the house at Normandy Park.

Turnout for the meetings during the winter was low, which makes sense since it is a quiet time for SABA. Plus, the weather kept many of us hunkered down at home. Now, the snow is finally melting, flower shoots are beginning to sprout up, and we are starting to go outside because we want to, not because we have to shovel snow. This is when SABA activities begin to pick up speed and we are most in need of your energy and enthusiasm.

The next monthly SABA meeting will be this Wednesday night, Jan 13 at 7:30 to 9:00. We will meet at the house at Normandy Park. I will not be available to attend this meeting but I encourage all officers and neighbors to attend to discuss our current issues and events, especially since no one was able to attend the December meeting so progress was not made on them.

The agenda for the meeting is:

1. Update on Winter newsletter

2. Volunteers needed:
- Civic Council Liaison. Bill Davis had served in this position for several years
- Block Captains
- Newsletter coordinator
- Event coordinators

3. Update on plans to paint Normandy Park house

4. Memorial to Bill Davis for Normandy Park:
- Tree and bench
- Donations can be sent to SABA with "Bill Davis Memorial" on the memo line of the check

5. Discuss possibly applying for grant for the park through Fiskars company grant program. Info available at http://www.projectorangethumb.com/.

Come join us for our monthly meeting. We anticipate that the roof replacement will be completed on the house at Normandy Park in time for this meeting to be held there. If the house is not available, an announcement will be sent out/posted about a change of location.

The September SABA meeting will be held on Wednesday 9/9 from 7:30 to 9:00.

We will NOT be meeting at Chestnutwold Elementary this month and the house at Normandy Park is undergoing some renovations (roof replacement).

We will meet at the house of Bill Gardner, Volunteer Coordinator, at 2938 Berkley Rd (between Ardmore and Cricket).

The agenda for the meeting is:

1. Update on need to repay portion of state grant

2. Plans for fall Music and Planting in the Park event for Oct. 4.
Note: music coordinator is needed since the past coordinator in not available this year.

3. Plans for the SABA 5K on Oct 11.
Donations are already coming in and people are beginning to volunteer.

4. Update on billboard proposal within the township

5. Coordination with PTO for a fall creek clean-up

6. Additional items for discussion

Join us for our monthly meeting to discuss updates and plans of SABA's efforts throughout the neighborhood.

We will meet at Normandy Park again this month since we do not have access to Chestnutwold Elementary during the school year.

SABA's July monthly meeting will be held at Normandy Park, not at Chestnutwold. If the weather is good, we will meet outside on our new picnic tables. If not, we will meet inside the house or at the pub across the street - depending on what people feel like doing. See you then for updates, discussions, and plans.
