The Ramona Community Planning Group welcomed three new members and five returning members at the first meeting of the year Thursday.
Held at the Community Center instead of the Ramona Library, the Planning Group meeting was a first for Jim Cooper, Barbara Jensen and Donna Myers.
Returning members include chair Jim Piva, Richard Tomlinson, Eb Hogervorst, Torry Brean and Paul Stykel.
After being sworn in, Secretary Kristi Mansolf had one extra oath for the new members to take, courtesy Piva:
"To support the Bulldogs year-round."
The 13-member board voted on a new chair, vice-chair and secretary. They are as follows:
- Chair: Jim Piva (previous chair)
- Vice-chair: Scotty Ensign
- Secretary: Kristi Mansolf (previous secretary)
Piva has played a pivotal role in establishing an emergency evacuation route for Ramona.
Congratulations to all new and returning members!
