We open with "Problem Solving"
   ... where we work to solve a member’s problem.
   the February meeting discussion was very lively.

Next is "Speak Up"
   ... where each person has an opportunity to give a 30-second announcement, complaint, suggestion, commercial, anything as long as it’s no more than 30-seconds long.

The 15-minute refreshment break that follows provides an opportunity to network with people that speak "Landlording" as a second language. We also have a 50-50 drawing to benefit a charity chosen by those assembled.

Presentations, (of not more than half hour each), are next.

The February meeting featured: Jeanie Orr who presented "Smoke-Free Apartments" an initiative of the Smoke Free Coalition. Several members are already implementing this win-win approach to tenant relations.
