President remarks
Thom made a motion to approve Ron's move to the Architecture position. The motion was approved.
Thom asked board members to look at what we want to accomplish this year.
|

Ashley advised that she wants to send a form to residents to determine what they want for social activities this year.
BWP will use the pool area for most of our social activities as we have access to lights and electricity at the pool.
|
|
Michelle advised that our pool contractor, has advised that the price of pool chemicals is going up in 2023 and that we have budgeted for it.
We may need to have some workdays this spring for work at the pool.

We are looking for someone to take over the Landscaping position on the board. If you may be interested in the position and want more information, please contact Thom Tomlinson at 913 558-4424.

We had budgeted money in 2023 for tree trimming, but we were able to do the tree trimming in 2022. A motion was made and approved to reduce the 2023 tree trimming budget from $4500 to $2500.

BWP Book Club
The next meeting of the Book Club will be February 9. at 7 pm. Brenda Wray will be hosting. Please bring a snack to share. Beverages will be provided. Please contact Cindy Edgington at cedgington@yahoo.com if you have any questions or would like to attend.
The February book is "The Girl with the Louding Voice" by Abi Dare. The unforgettable, inspiring story of a teenage girl growing up in a rural Nigerian village who longs to get an education so that she can find her "louding voice" and speak up for herself. It is a simultaneously heartbreaking and triumphant tale about the power of fighting for your dreams.
Bunko
Bunko is on the third Wednesday of the month at 7 pm and rotates through different hostesses. All ladies are welcome! If you are interested in joining on a regular basis or even just for one event, please contact Denise Fast at denise4taxes@gmail.com.
