Creating the Carroll County Community Association

May 31^st, 2007

SUBJECT: Creating the Carroll County Community Association

PLACE: Westminster Library

DATE: Monday 6/11/2007

TIME: 7:30 - 9:30 PM

Carroll County has experienced rapid growth, similar to Baltimore County; however, Carroll County has experienced unbridled, irresponsible development. This association wants members who are willing to step up and be involved, express their concerns about questionable zoning, development and regulations and follow through with action.

This is a totally volunteer organization and we seek and urge area property owners (the stakeholders in our area) to make their voice known by joining. Membership dues and/or fund raising events will financially support its activities. Members are expected to be a diverse group of business and legal professionals, small business owners, active and retired, and homemakers joined by a common passion to preserve the quality of our life in Carroll County.

We ARE for responsible, well-conceived and executed land use. We are all property owners who are concerned about property values, growing congestion, traffic safety and, where at all possible, the preservation of open spaces. We seek the opinions of members and other directly effected residents in order to develop an effective strategy to deal with issues.

We need your participation!

This meeting is open to the public. The purpose of this organizational meeting is twofold:

1) Keynote speaker: Rick Stanley will discuss the Chesapeake Terrapin Alliance. His power point audio-video presentation concerns the Maryland Diamondback Terrapin, state reptile and mascot of the University of Maryland. 7:30 to 8:15

2) Organizational meeting for the Carroll County Community Association for residents who are interested in their community, land preservation, and to unite in a coordinated effort to prevent, limit or modify unwise and improper land use. 8:30 to 9:30
