Discussion: Trustee Fritz stated that Christmas caroling went great! Trustee Bogacz mentioned that the Annual Children’s Christmas Party was a great turnout with 85 children. Some residents in the community had no idea that this event goes on each year despite it being advertised on the Village sign by Gate 1 and the email blast that goes out for it. Not sure how else to get the word out. Trustee Matthesius noticed that some people were still raking leaves to the side of the road when she believes leaf pickup has already been done. Lori will call our waste hauler to verify that.

Toys for Tots – If anyone knows of anyone in need of toys for Christmas please see Trustee Fritz. Also if any Christmas dinners are needed the names need to be turned in by this Friday.
