March 2010

Greetings 19^th Warders!

Is it just me or does it seem as if these first few months of 2010 are just flying by?  It is March already! I've received some very good constructive feedback from a few sources, that people seem to like my new layout for 2010.  I've tried to be more concise and highlight the most crucial happenings in the 19^th Ward.

Communications is an essential element in the continuing success of the 19^th Ward Community Association. It is increasingly important to find ways to get our voices heard in the neighborhood and in the larger community. The Association has decided to form a Communications Committee to shepherd this important task.

The tasks of the committee will be to:

• Secure articles that tell the story of the community for Update 19
• Assist in the production of the monthly newsletter
• Maximize the usefulness of the Association website
• Advise the Association on other communications opportunities
• Develop contacts and connections with local media.

Anyone who is interested in serving on this working committee is encouraged to contact the Association office, 328-6571.
