Message From The President

I hope each and everyone of you have had a wonderful summer!  Fall is approaching rapidly, and with shorter days and cooler weather (my favorite time of year) comes a number of great opportunities for Edmond Board Members.

 

*Edmond Board Golf Tournament Oct. 13 at Kickingbird Golf Course

*Habitat for Humanity Build Oct 4-25, at Hope Crossing

Hope to see you all at each of these October events.  Don't miss the Adam Murray Recovery Fund (Kay Pratt's son-in-law) Golf Tournament September 5th - Call Leslie Denton at OCA for Details.

 

The RPAC drive is wrapping up.  Please make a donation if you haven't.  Call me at 990-8262 and I will get you the proper forms and deliver your donation. 

There will be a city wide election the first Tuesday in November to decide whether the city of Edmond can raise advalorem tax (property tax on real estate) about $76.00 per year on a $100,000 home for 10 years to fund a new police station (cost estimated at $31,500,000).  This would be a first for the city fathers to access this area for revenue.  I wonder if they will stop there or will they feast on property owners for more projects?

 

Traditionally the city has raised sales tax to obtain funds for special projects and I think they should continue to do so.  If you have thoughts about this issue please call and share them with me.

 

Here's to wishing you a great September!

 

Onward,
