• Framework established. The Project Development Committee (now named the Land Use Committee) met on January 14th to approve a Strategy Framework and a Communications Plan. Both documents have since been approved by the Shawnee-Evergreen Community Association Board (January 16th). 
  
  
• Communication. The Committee discussed the importance of increasing awareness among community members regarding the current status of the golf course. In addition to an announcement in the February edition of the community newsletter and updates on the website, an email was sent to all community association members (January 17th) for whom the association had email addresses. If you did not receive an email but would like to be included in future distributions, please contact Divona Herzog, Communications Lead, at Divona@herzog-associates.com.  
  
  
• Volunteers. Individuals who have indicated an interest in volunteering were contacted by email (January 19th) or phone. Several volunteer opportunities have been identified. The current priority is to research the various issues related to the impact on the community and surrounding areas if the golf course is redeveloped. The issues currently include traffic, land titles and caveats, schools, utilities, environment, and golf course usage and availability. This research will put the community in a better position to react if another potential purchaser comes forward. In addition, we are committed to maintaining an active communication program with community and may need some help writing, editing, etc.  If you are interested in volunteering for these or other opportunities, we would like to hear from you. Please contact Sue Saunders, Volunteer Coordinator, at sue@suesaunders.com or call 256-7563.
  

The Shawnee Evergreen Community Association has established a sub-committee of the Board of Directors (L.U.C. – Land Use Committee) to deal with major developments affecting our communities such as the once  “pending sale” of the Shaw-Nee Slopes Golf Course.
