The meeting was called to order at 7:05 pm by President, Phyllis Thomason, who served as chair of the meeting. On motion made, seconded and passed, the reading of the minutes of the last meeting was waived. The minutes of that meeting are on the club’s web site. Treasurer, Michelle Wolpert, gave the Treasurer’s report, and we are still solvent, and there are about 180 members signed up so far this year. President Phyllis Thomason reported on the progress of the Caceras subdivision, where the builders report storm and sanitary sewer lines have been installed and water lines are currently being installed. The plan is for a fence around the entire property, a park-like hub in the center near the size of a football field, and homes to have white stucco and tile roof construction. Newsletter editor Jennifer James reminded us the next newsletter deadline is May 2nd, and that news items can be emailed to news@ricemilitary.org.

Super Neighborhood 22 will have a candidate forum for all the candidates standing for the open City Council position, and residents were reminded to vote in the May 12th special election. Bret Bosker of the Houston Bar Association spoke about Jury Duty, reminding us that it is both a duty and a privilege to serve on a jury when notified.
