To: Woodbury Park Homeowner's

Subject: Minutes of the May 6, 2003 General Meeting

For your information, attached are the Minutes for the May 6^th, 2003 General Meeting. Also, it was suggested that we poll the homeowners ahead of time about what improvements that you would like or what you would suggest to change. Please fill out and return the attached form to any one of the board members. If you lose the form between now and the spring meeting, a handwritten note is fine! The whole point is to get a better idea of what the homeowners want for their subdivision in addition to the maintenance as stated in the corporate by-laws.

Also, the Woodbury Park Homeowner's website is up and running. The link is http://woodbury-park.org.

Woodbury Park Homeowner's Directory

Dear Woodbury Park Homeowner:

Hi! Our names are Michelle P. and Debby B. Michelle lives on Kingsburn Drive and Debby lives on Curtis Drive in your subdivision. We are trying to create a Woodbury Park Directory for our homeowners. We envision a small, not necessarily to scale, map with the house address labeled and an alphabetical listing of our homeowners with their addresses, phone numbers, and e-mails.

We also have a grandiose idea that Debby read about in a magazine on bringing a neighborhood closer together to feel like a community. The article suggested creating a neighborhood directory as mentioned above. The article also suggested a neighborhood website. A final suggestion was to have gatherings at people's houses a few times a year. The three examples that we have are (a) a summer lemonade social, (b) a Christmas cookie feast, and (c) a country fair in someone's backyard with 3-legged races and a pie-eating contest. The idea is not to burden the host and hostess, but that it is mostly a bring-your-own type gathering. Would you be interested in something like that? Do you have any other suggestions? In the past, Debby has participated in a cookie feast. The entire neighborhood gathered in someone's garage and had cookies and hot cider (spiking optional). Then we all trekked off to a cut your own tree farm and cut down Christmas trees and brought them home. Those with large pick-up trucks helped out those with small sedans!

We have attached a questionnaire to make it easier for us to compile the book. Please fill it out and return it to the addresses below. We look forward to hearing from you!!

Regards,

Your Neighbors,

Debby B. Michelle P.

Livonia, MI 48152 Livonia, MI 48152
