The meeting began promptly at 7:00 PM at the Sullivan residence. The following board members were present: Jack Curran, Brian Kile, Chris Bogdon, Kevin Sullivan, Jim Lacey, and Chuck Kraynik. Work travel prevented Ray Speicher from attending.
The open-floor session at the beginning of the meeting was utilized by Keith Baker and Ted Fry to offer comments on the importance of yard maintenance; the amended covenants; and to discuss The Crossings’ participation in this year’s Cranberry Cup. This year, The Crossings will once again field a team for the softball tournament. Additionally, on June 22nd, a Bean Bag Toss Tournament will take place at Quaker Steak and Lube to raise money for The Cranberry Cup. More information will be posted on the Crossings web-site.

New Business
The Board has been contacted via e-mail and in-person from a homeowner wishing to discuss ideas and concerns that will improve The Crossings. This homeowner often has work obligations during evening hours and is normally unable to attend the regularly scheduled Board meetings. He has asked that someone from the Board contact him to arrange a day and time for this meeting. Kevin Sullivan and I will arrange this meeting and report on the topics discussed.
As mentioned above, The Crossings will have a softball team participating in The Cranberry Cup Tournament. A motion was made and seconded, and the Board voted to approve the purchase of two dozen T-shirts displaying The Crossings name and logo. I will contact Keith Baker to complete these arrangements.
The next meeting of the Board is scheduled on Wednesday, July 10th at 7:00pm at the Bogdon residence at 114 Crossing Ridge Trail.
