Jackie Johnson reported that she needed assistance helping to secure advertising for the home tour booklet. Cassie reported that help is still needed with distributing posters and Jackie Johnson solicited volunteers to help with this distribution. Cassie invited all to attend the Home Tour planning meeting on Thursday, November 13th.
    2. University of Oklahoma Big Event. Jackie Johnson reported that OU had contact us to ask if we will utilize their students to help around the neighborhood in March 2009. JB Schuelein agreed to follow up with them.
