Eastside Neighborhood Association

Correction: I misstated (or misunderstood) the communication I had with the Parks Department folks in the Lions Park Changes article. They will not have a “plan” completed in February but will have a process and schedule.

Download the ENA Winter 2010 newsletter (PDF) - it just went to the printer and will be delivered (by hand! by volunteers!) over the next two weeks.

This issue is chock full of neighborly goodness: events, the new Madison-Avanti garden, Lions Park, a meet your neighbor interview, time banking, and the usual president’s and treasurer’s reports.

Get it now, or read your copy when it shows up at your door.

St. Micheal’s Catholic Church / 1021 Boundary St. SE

We will be meeting at St. Micheal’s Church and we’ll get a tour of the recently added building. We will meet in the “Gathering space” in upper (older) building.

“Open Mic”

This is an open forum at the beginning of our meeting to bring up any topics that are on your mind as a neighborhood resident.

Board Elections

We will be electing new and returning board members to the ENA Board. Learn more inside in “Volunteer to improve our neighborhood!”

Board members are elected at the February general meeting. This year, the board members Chad Akins and Elaine Nelson are up for re-election while Board-appointed treasurer Jenni Fleming is up for election. Current president Luke Bowerman is stepping down to concentrate on his small business, so we are seeking at least three new board members. Per our by-laws the ENA board must have at least 10 members, and may have as many as 20. (Officers are selected at the February board meeting on February 28.)

For this meet your neighbor article I met a beautiful family on 11th.  Joyhanna and Seth are both rabbis and have two cute little boys, Erez and Ozi.

How long have you lived in the neighborhood and where are you from originally?
We’ve lived in the Eastside neighborhood now for 6 years.  Joyhanna is originally from Oregon and Seth is from New York.  We met in Philadelphia. (more…)
