August 14th, 2018
Dear neighbors:
Many thanks to everyone who turned out for our quarterly meeting on August 14, 2018.
Please see the draft minutes of the meeting (Thanks, Eileen Janas!)
Thanks also to Nick Carrasco, who was unanimously voted in as our new AHCA First Vice-President, and Matt Ambrose, who was unanimously voted in as our new Treasurer. Welcome aboard, Nick and Matt!
Nick is heading up a subcommittee along with Jay Wind to improve our website and investigate delays in sending out Yahoo! mail.
If you have technical expertise and would like to help Nick and Jay, please email Nick at nickc321@gmail.com.
We discussed whether it will be possible to continue to print out our newsletter given our low funds.
We determined that it may be possible to shorten the newsletter but still deliver the newsletter door to door, depending on funds. If you have not paid this year's dues, consider doing so today!
I gave an update on the Career Center redevelopment.
The Career Center Working Group excepts to have a report published at the end of the month.
A representative from Arlington DES also spoke at our meeting.
DES will begin bike lane improvements on South 9th St. this fall.
Note that the improvements will result in the net loss of 2 parking spaces on South 9th.
Our neighborhood has two use permits pending: one for an in-home day care on South Fillmore St. (Penrose), and one for transitional housing on South Glebe Rd. (Alcova Heights).
Please let me know ASAP if you have any further questions or comments on these use permits.
We are planning a social event (BBQ/picnic) for this early fall. Stay tuned for announcements!
Our next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, November 14, 2018, 7 to 9 pm.
Thank you,
Kristi Rupert Sawert
AHCA, President
