Big Toys & Sites
Members: Jo Ann, Lisa, Miles, Arturo
Meeting Information: Thursday, September 21, Bradley Lake Park big toy (Behind Super Wal-Mart), 4:00-5:00 PM. I thought that we could at least start at Bradley Lake Park due to the fact that we do have a circle and it is one of the companies that we are looking at. Depending on the weather, we may visit there or we may simply take a look and go to a warmer location in the area (like Starbucks). Please bring your calendars with you as we will have to schedule some time together as a sub committee.

Currently, Guy and I have met with a rep from the three companies listed below. This does not mean that we are limited to these vendors. However, if the group feels that we have sufficient choices and competitive prices then we may choose to focus on these three companies. Below are some places that we may be going to as a group or other locations to be aware of just in case you happen to be in the area and want to take a look :). Please don't make an intentional visit to all of them for the purpose of the work of the sub committee. We will coordinate visits for our purposes.
