20 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | AUGUST 2016 Bistro Committee The Bistro Committee met on June 28 and had a wonderful, exciting meeting with one guest and six applicants, who have already turned in their applications to become members of our committee. Our first order of business was the new deli case for the Bistro. It was delivered, but was not the right one, so it will be sent back and the right one will be redelivered. Rich Yanes has resigned from our committee, because he and his wife RV and conflicts have become a problem. He will be missed. We had a full agenda at our meeting with discussions regarding absences (only three per year), reading over the Bistro charter, proposing changes to the new resident meet and greets and ideas for marketing the Bistro using coupons, fliers and other methods. We will also meet with the Salon staff, as there may be a possibility that the Bistro committee will also cover the Salon. Our committee is going to contact three kitchen consultants to come and meet with Smitty in the Bistro to discuss his current kitchen and appliances and see if there are ways in which he may improve the kitchen to provide faster service. These consultations are all free, so we are all very excited for the results. Smitty will be attending our Bistro meetings each month to answer questions, give input and voice concerns. We meet the fourth Tuesday of every month at 11 am in the Lodge Conference Room, within the Bistro. Our next meeting will be July 26 and we love visitors, so hope to see you there. ~ Jill Anderson The Finance Committee held its regular meeting on June 28.

Resident suggested using Four Seasons' Library as a polling location for the primary election in June. Upon research, we learned we could not restrict the pole location to Four Seasons' residents only. Social committee requested limiting residents to three tables for event tickets. Committee voted to limit tickets to two tables per household paid by check, with a submission of a guest list. Dance club would like to allow non-residents to participate in their club to accommodate women without dance partners. Suggestion under review. New district alignments were suggested by FirstService Management to balance the number of homes in each district. No action taken at this time. Jacque Sneddon presented a study from January 2010 to April 2016 regarding the natural turn-over on committees.
