Supporting the SOS (Save our Seniors) program at Western Hills, an after prom event, was suggested. Also suggested, distributing fliers to announce upcoming meetings to try to increase membership.

Ron Sauma, in an upcoming runoff on June 13th for Place 7, was in attendance, He suggested the TCNA might be interested in adopting a street or area in Timbercreek that would be maintained for cleanup. That would give the TCNA visibility as the city would put up a sign that the TCNA is maintaining that area.

This article highlighted the assistance that may be provided to residents who have city code violations, but are unable to comply due to physical or financial limitations.
