NACC’s next meeting to be held on Wednesday, April 12, at 7 pm in the club house.
PROPERTY CLEAN UP prior to our meeting at 5pm. With all the wind we’re having there are lots of small limbs blown down that need cleaned up for mowing, plus there is some small brush along the edges that needs trimmed back yet. Our clean up day last month was very productive and a big thanks to those who came. We still have work to do.
