The newsletter will be posted on the RRR HOA website and emailed to homeowners who have opted in to receive email communications. A motion to approve the newsletter, pending the
proposed changes, and the postcard mailing was made by Director Guy and seconded by Director Miller. The motion passed unanimously.
