I personally challenge each neighbor to attend a meeting of an active neighborhood association who is receiving the results they want. When you attend the meeting ask them how they are achieving their success, maybe we can implement the same strategies in our neighborhood. Drive through and take a look at their streets, sidewalks, parks. If you really want to get deep compare their property values to yours? How do they compare? Ask and observe how they are achieving and maintaining the results they desire.
The ones I recommend are: Metcalf-Harrison Neighborhood Association, Deer Park Neighborhood Association, and Miller Park Minne Lusa Neighborhood Association.
It appears these neighborhood associations have meet for the spring quarter and the times & dates for their summer meetings are not listed yet. Please drive through these neighborhoods and check them out. In the meantime visit their websites and/or blogs for summer meeting dates & times as well as other neighborhood activities.
MHNA is represented by homeowners from 56th St. from Blondo St. to Western Ave. and 52nd St. from Lake St. to Western Ave. The business district is bounded by Cuming St. and Hamilton St. to Radial Hwy and 50th St. The association is open to all neighbors and businesses in the area.
This neighborhood association’s boundaries are defined in purple.
We meet the 1st Thursday of every month at Miller Park in the Pavilion. Meetings begin at 7:00 p.m. and last about an hour with refreshments and fellowship afterwards. Our dues are $6. for an individual and $10. for the family per year. Membership gives you voting privileges on issues and a reminder card mailed to you every month, so you don't miss any meetings.
The Miller Park Minne Lusa Citizen Patrol meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. right before the Neighborhood Association meeting. All meetings are open to the public, so please attend if you would like more information
What do you think? Please share your experiences to my challenge. Is this a topic for a meeting?
Thank You for caring about our neighborhood. dgb
