Judy and Sandy,   Yes on the Beach Ave. House still being  considered 3 
family and yes on the condo possibility although only a madman  would flaunt that 
right now with what is going on with the Spar.  I am in  agreement with your 
thoughts on that Judy and we all have discussed  it.   I have been in constant 
contact with the owner (and friend) to  keep us in the loop when he can no 
longer hang on and he knows where we  are coming from and yes we try each meeting 
to focus on properties that  are available.  Most of our members would prefer 
to but in the open  market or have a stable long term rental.  Most are 
looking at what we  are doing as a safety valve,  but an important one.   Most of  
our members are in the unenviable financial valley that all folks of modest  
incomes are in, particularly those in desirable retirement locations  in that 
the entry level starter homes are priced out of  reach.     What looks 
reasonable to you and me looks like  a Mount Everest to the folks we are trying to 
help.  At $350K plus $200K  of work needed,  the condos aren't going to make it in 
the low to  mid 100's.
    Sandy - I prefer to be the Father Rooster than  the Father Hen,  but 
whatever, I love to delegate.  There are  only so many hours in the day, and while 
I get a stipend for some of what I  do, and have been offered more to do more 
- my time is stretched too thin  and I have had to decline that offer (from 
Genesis RCDI grant).    The folks who have participated so far (10-12 you see 
on the list) or so  generally are also pretty busy and our meetings typically 
have babies at them  and/or one or the other parent babysitting and/or we are 
competing with  our members having fire meetings, rec meetings, work  issues, 
etc.   All have worked hard to get us where we are and  will do more if 
possible,  but the idea of delegating out to sub groups  and committees more stuff 
ain't going to fly right now.  We cannot even  think of another body at the 
moment to get on the YRHASC, let alone to do more  (needed such research)  which 
is why we so appreciate folks like yourself  and Judy working all day and 
giving time at night to this.  There  are not a lot of folks out here and those 
able and interested are into many  things already plus there are some who do not 
think what we are doing is all  that great anyways.        Headed out to  deal 
with snow and leaving tomorrow for a looooong weekend.   Thank  you both for 
your continued input - keep it  coming.     MGPP

What do you all think about encouraging Meredith Sweet to consider joining  
our committee?  She was curious enough about the subject to show up last  
night, and her input was valuable.
