January Meeting (Harford Park)
In this meeting our treasury showed an increase over last month and we welcomed back some members we hadn’t seen in several years. The association is planning improvements to the hall and property and we are figuring out how to fit it into our busy rental schedule. Baltimore City Council President Jack Young’s Community Outreach Liaison Liam Davis is helping us deal with some property and code issues in the city, and spoke about the city’s desire to revitalize local ball fields like the one at North Harford Park. The county police report included 9 calls for service in December, HARBEL report for the city showed 11 crimes in the last 90 days.
