RESA BoD Meeting Follow-up – 2023 Halloween Dance Proposal

Posted on by

Dear RESA members,

Many people attended the RESA Board meeting on September 20 to voice their support and desire for a dance after a dispute with the initial organizing group led to a breakdown in whether the event would go forward. 

The RESA Board heard the passion, concern and heart at that meeting and want you to know that we are very supportive of holding the dance and other community events. A prime example is the RESA pool party held last month. 

The full RESA Board has a desire that we all work together to strengthen community spirit. We’ve come up with a way for a 2023 Halloween Dance to happen—as long as we act quickly.

The RESA Events Board Committee proposes to host the 2023 RESA Halloween Dance and is looking for volunteers who are in agreement with the following principles:

  1. The event will be free to attend, but limited to RESA residents. Advanced RSVP will be required to verify eligibility and manage capacity limits.
  2. The event will be BYOB. No alcohol sales or drinks will be supplied.
  3. The volunteers will handle decorations, including setup and takedown.`
  4. Decorations from previous years will be used.
  5. RESA will hire and pay for the band using the budgeted funds for RESA Events.
  6. Attendees will be asked for a suggested donation to RESA to offset the cost of the band. We will accept donations via online payment, or a locked cash box that will be opened and counted by at least 2 RESA directors and/or staff. All donations will be deposited into the RESA bank account. An accounting of the funds collected will be communicated to the community.

If these terms are acceptable to the volunteers, we will proceed with this year’s dance. We’ll need at least 15 volunteers to agree to these terms by Monday, September 25th, in order to move forward. Please reach out to the RESA Events Board Committee members, Angela Hedges or Jennifer Throssell.

Looking forward to a fun dance and community get together!
