Members for the board: Jean has a neighbor who volunteered to be on the board unless we have other people who are interested. Jeff will talk to another person of interest and get back to the board. A few other names were floated around to ask. We will only have a ballot if more than 1 name on the ballot. Jean will also ask for any nominations from the floor.
