Lt Tobey Harrison gave an update on a shooting at the intersection of 8th Avenue and 18th Street of July 2nd in the afternoon. There was a bullet that went into a home in the area, luckily no one was injured. This was an isolated incident with the two parties passing through the neighborhood. Please make sure if you see anything suspicious, please call the non-emergency line at 286-5491 and for emergencies call 911. Together we can keep CANA safe!

Treasurer’s Report: $291.57 current balance. Prior to pancake breakfast it was 710.55. Pancake breakfast raised $251.00. That brought us to a balance of 961.55. The current total reflects outstanding reimbursements from the city which have been submitted for this last fiscal year. one check for 303.50 for group insurance and mulch, the second reimbursement is for 366.48 for the pancake breakfast supplies.
As a workplan for the year, of the $10,000 fund the city has for us, we use a total 2847.70. This included the $2000 that went toward the cement pads for benches in Cleveland Park. Finally, there is a pending $1320 that should fall in last fiscal year for trash receptacles in Cleveland park. This would bring total spent for Fiscal year 2018 to 4167.7. As we plan for next year, if there are any projects that are possible, we can get estimates and submit them for reimbursement ahead of the project, such as the slabs and trash cans.
We discussed the pancake breakfast. We did have a higher attendance this year and we did raise more money. We did tithe and donate some of the money raised to the Central Church of Christ. We are grateful for our relationship that we have with them and appreciate the use of their facility for our meetings and events.
