- Picket for Playground at Moore Park – Isabel proposed that MNA purchase a $100 picket to help support the building of the new playground. Taylor described the different levels of giving. Merritt at Healthy Klamath has more info and can be reached by email. Some of the play equipment is already paid for/there is a sponsor. Patrick asked if there was a plan for what to do with the old playground equipment once it’s removed. Will do some more research to answer this question.
- Suggestions for more involvement from the neighborhood – volunteers needed for projects, especially landscape projects. Would like MNA to be more recognized within the neighborhood – reputation for improving the neighborhood.
