• Attendees: Mike Boulland, Ronald Horii, Rick Leonard, Mario Blaum, Bruce Pickett, Hazen Anderson, Don Schwartzrock,  Jim Kern
• Mike was having E-mail problems and couldn't get the meeting notice out.
• Hazen brought two of his neighbors from the Uvas area, Don and Jim. They were interested in starting a neighborhood action group for the Uvas Canyon area, which is near Uvas Canyon County Park. We talked about our group, neighborhood groups in general, 5013c requirements, and starting a park volunteer group for Uvas Canyon Park.
• 5013c can be done if the organization is historically-related and is serving the greater community. UNSCC will be holding the 5013c for us. If you do a 5013c, you need to pay for an accounting. 
• Website:
• Ron made a new Web page with the volunteer hours.
• Mike said he would pay for more space on the Web. I looked at different Web hosting services. This one has the best rating and is only $4.95/month for 50 MB of space. See: here for reviews of Web services. See Featureprice.com. If we want our own domain name, we need to pay $25/year, which is about the same for every ISP. 
• Trails (Mario)
• The Coyote Peak Trail looks good.
• The bridge is out at the archery range.
• Mike:
• 10/26 Ghost Walk: Mike couldn't get the van. He started at 10:30 and ended at 5:00. Next time, he wants to get a van. He wants to go through the Rosetto property. 
• No one is in yet at the Bonetti/Pedro Bernal House across from Bernal School. We would prfer to have a ranger there who is willing to spend some extra time looking after the park.
• John Dorrance has an intern to help with developing programs.
• The drinking fountain is in at the BGJ Ranch.
• Mike took a class of 34 kids to the BGJ Ranch. John Dorrance talked to them. The kids loved it.
