I thought posting signs was pointless until the HOA meeting in Maple Grove turned into a shouting match
I used to think putting up a few printed signs at the community center was a waste of time, but last week our block meeting in Maple Grove went sideways when 14 people showed up angry about the new parking rules and nobody knew the agenda ahead of time. So I started printing a one page sheet with the three topics and the meeting time, and taped copies to the mailboxes at 6pm the night before. About 20 people actually read it and came ready to talk instead of just venting, and we got through everything in 40 minutes. What do you all do to get folks to actually show up prepared instead of just fired up?
