1. Questionnaires were distributed with the November 2004 newsletter.

be directed to directory@boylanheights.org.

should be contacted about this?
4. Directory data will be supplemented with property owners of record data
derived from the Wake County Department of Revenue Real Estate Database.
5. Previous policy has been to distribute only to those who participated by

sold only to neighborhood residents, though.

allow for return of the questionnaires? Preparation will take approximately 1
month.
7. Need committee members to sell advertising/sponsorships. Goal is to raise
$400 - $600. Need to review records to determine printing costs for last
directory, but it was likely in the $400 range. Ideas on recruiting committee
