— The meeting opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and approval of the minutes from the previous meeting. Board members Pat Rathburn, Michelle DiMaria, Rhonda Kramer, Heather Cunniff, Jodi Perraud, Joe Russell, Virginia Russell attended and a quorum was established.
—Our guest speaker was Sarah Leonardi from the League of Women Voters. Maggie Davidson and Denise Elliott, also with the League, had a table full of voter information to take home. Sarah presented the audience with the League’s recommendations for the Florida Constitutional Amendments and the Broward County Charter questions for the November 6th ballot. Sarah helped us to understand the often confusing issues and answered questions from the neighbors.
—Steve Cook, one of our CP neighbors informed us of a meeting at City Hall on November 6th at 6 pm to discuss the land on SW 17th Street at the railroad tracks that are being considered for affordable, subsidized housing. The meeting is open to the public.
—The proposed new fire station will be built on the same piece of land at SW 17th Street and the railroad tracks.

—As tradition has it our CPCA October meeting is Pie Night, and I think our pie bakers outdid themselves this time. All the fall pie flavors were represented-pecan, pumpkin, apple, and I think I saw a cherry pie there.
—The 50/50 raffle was won by Fritz Kramer who graciously donated the proceeds back to the Association. Thanks, Fritz!
