[Summit] Transcript of the chat page of Monday's SNA Annual General Meeting

Tue Apr 27 01:26:51 UTC 2021

Hello, everyone,
I copied the Chat section from tonight's virtual annual meeting of the Summit Neighborhood Association, with all of its web links and e-mail addresses. 
(This is not a transcript of the meeting itself. I’m sorry I missed Ethan’s farewell address at its start because the Ward 1 meeting was still wrapping up. No doubt future schoolchildren will learn and recite it from heart.   Good luck to both the incoming and outgoing Presidents.)
I recommend opening the attached WordPad (.rtf) page, since its formatting allows for more direct clickable links.
I’m also pasting the simple plain unformatted text (.txt) below, but Yahoo! Mail doesn’t always seem capable of copying the internal links as links.
I’m also attaching the SNA leaflet (.pdf) that introduced the new members of the Board.
I hope this is helpful.
Dave
