The Village of Golf Manor Community Engagement Committee met Monday, Nov. 10, and adopted the evening’s agenda and approved minutes from the Oct. 20 meeting. The committee then reviewed program updates, confirmed the relocation of a Little Free Pantry onto Golf Manor property, and approved $1,500 to print postcards to promote a new village website.

Committee chair S1 opened the meeting and conducted roll call; Miss Gwen (S3) moved to adopt the agenda and the motion was seconded and carried by voice. Later, S1 moved to approve the Oct. 20 minutes and the committee approved them.

Miss Gwen reported on local programming: an Ohio State University cooking class concluded Oct. 28 and a Council on Aging diabetes self-management series started Nov. 6 and runs through Dec. 18 on Thursdays from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Recreation commission policy was cited: the commission receives $50 for each individual who completes a series of classes for the first time.

S3 and other members recounted that the Little Free Pantry had been moved to property owned by a resident identified as Tiffany and confirmed the structure is now on Golf Manor property after previously sitting across a property line in the City of Cincinnati. The committee tentatively scheduled a ribbon-cutting for Sunday, Nov. 16, "after 12," pending availability.

On outreach, a mini-committee reported it selected Code Blue to build the village website and recommended using the silver service tier for communications features. Committee members discussed outreach tools and agreed to fund postcards timed with the website launch. Clerk/staff S2 moved to allocate $1,500 from community engagement appropriations for postcards; members voiced support and the motion carried.

The meeting concluded with an update on a proposed schedule change: staff recommended moving regular meetings from Mondays to Tuesdays in 2026 (first Tuesday for committees, third Tuesday for council) to reduce holiday conflicts; members agreed to consider the change and raise availability concerns.

The meeting adjourned by unanimous voice consent.
