CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| We have had many successes in our organization. Our beautification committee has, over the last several decades planted over 1000 trees in our neighborhood. We recently received a state grant to plant larger trees along two well walked streets for the purpose of making our neighborhood more walkable. We have many volunteers who help water and maintain these trees. We have many great events that are mainstays of our neighborhood: our Dragon Parade and Ice Cream Social is a capstone event of our "Neighborhood Pride" month and has been organized for over 20 years. Four years ago, we added a concert series to our summer event schedule- Dragon Music Sundays- in conjunction with Metro Parks. We have many other events as well: Clean Up days, Outdoor movie nights, Candidate forums, etc. One of our greatest assets to the neighborhood is our ongoing efforts to communicate matters of interest and importance to the neighborhood. We publish a quarterly newsletter that is distributed to 2300 homes and businesses, we maintain an email list/google group with well over 1000 subscribers. |
