9.     Secretary

• A Blog was added to the website asking for all homeowners to send in their gate key numbers for cross reference.  This is just some housekeeping since it’s been several years since we have updated the codes.  Only about 10 homeowners read this and sent an email with the information.  Do we really need a website?  Many associations are terminating their websites, as most don’t use it.  Is it really a good source of funds?
