*Good turnout despite the iffy weather. Estimate 40-50 total.
*Collected $100 between donations and T-shirt sales
*Thanks to Richard Averitt for getting the beer & hot dogs, Dennis
Poteat for arranging for the beer permit, everyone who pitched in and helped with bringing a dish, setting up, cleanup, cooking, etc. and especially Cathy Camann & Don & Leanne Sharp for coordinating
*Consensus seems to be that Sunday is a better day for the Fall Fling.
*We will look at possibly having it earlier in the month of October, or maybe even September, next year so as not to compete with time change, State Fair, etc.

Chris, Phil and Jennifer were all instrumental in moving our Association and the neighborhood as a whole forward, getting us recognized within the City Council, providing infrastructure for our gatherings, and establishing a very good foundation for us to build on. We look forward to your continuing contributions in a less "formal" role in the future! Thanks for all your hard work.

Other news:

Dennis Poteat updated us on the recent rash of break-ins, and said there had been a major break in the case. He hopes to be able to provide details at the next 5 Points CAC meeting, but there is potentially very good news for us. He also extended compliments to the neighborhood for really coming together, being proactive, and taking steps as a community to respond to the break-ins. He said it truly made a difference, and that we are all to be commended for our response.

Next meeting: Assembling luminarias on Wednesday, December 5th, 6:30 - 9:00 p.m. Don't forget you must pick up the luminarias you reserved that night! And mark your calendar for the Tour of Historic Homes, Saturday, December 6th, 1:00 - 7:00 p.m. Admission is $10. Watch for additional information on the website!

Thanks....
