Notices were left for 2 other homes. One on Emerald Dr reached out but did not set a date and we never heard back from home on Palin. The homes were listed incorrectly in The Galt Herald Aug 10, 2022.
A text correction was done for Aug 17, 2022 but homeowners had wanted correction done with picture. Lampson would ask The Galt Herald to re-do the correction. Lampson made a motion to accept the notices that Firestone created for both Home of the Month & Nominate Your Neighbor to leave with the residents (minus the hyphenations). 2nd by Motion passed 5-0. The Committee decided to include seed packets; flowers/vegetables in the bag that is given to the homeowners.
