Holler Neighbors/Community

• Kerry came for a day to work on the hillside space and it looks a ton better - need more 
• KH went to SOE to install a shower and in the future we will not do GSD weekends there because too many people pulled out last minute so it was a slog

• Hillside AP is back in process - was on hold while we figured out sheep

Finances
