* having GreenThumb come to put the cement where the casita and shed is suppose to be built
* what to do about the graffiti on the wall since GreenThumb doesn’t own the wall and can’t touch it
* suggested collecting an annual due from members

   On a different note, it was brought up to my attention that some members are complaining about items being remove from the garden.
