Spring meeting May 16, with a special moment

The spring meeting of the Terrace at Highpointe Community Association is scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday, May 16, at Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church.

Before the formal start of the meeting, Nadeen Thompson and Shirley Fischer plan an informal 6:30 p.m. get-together at the church to honor the memory of our late friend and neighbor, Julia Austin.

While we have lost other residents over the years, seldom have we lost one as involved in Terrace activities as Julia. She was a member of the Board of Directors, the Rules Committee and numerous planning committees and was among the first people to move into the Terrace.

The thought is simply to share our memories of Julia and find some common closure to our loss.
