Update on marketing efforts
Dana provided update. She met with Columbia Parkside; most of those children go to KIPP or Dunbar; they have a back to school fair but it would generally be Wesley knocking on doors.
Looking to get on calendar for other communities. Talking about transportation in terms of MARTA;
Lottery will be in February; don't want to do what happened last year which involved a last minute cut-off; APS unified lottery is not looking at 2020 start-up.
Dana will talk to Jason about a mailer. Thomas will look into property management companies and possible access to their digital communications.
