7. New Business


Jean Ann Hughes (GSVSC CEO), Terrie Richardson (Membership Director) and and Jodi Brodkin (Volunteer
Services Director) announced that we had the OPTION of returning to the smaller “area communities” from
the past. We would remain as a whole SAW community with smaller communities within them.
The decision was tabled until the May 12 meeting to allow people to think about it and for use to publicize this
important decision. Please plan to attend. If you cannot attend, please send your comments to us at
GSofSAW@gmail.com and we will be sure to share them that night.
