outline a vision for the future of Sunshine Valley that represents both the views and interests of landholders and residents.

everyone who expressed an interest in serving on the committee. Contents from the June 26th package are provided below, including
the summary reports that have been distributed by the FVRD to the meeting participants. These documents can also be found by
