Presidents Letter
Hello everyone, Do you have "cabin-fever" yet? It's a soup-making, clean out the basement, lie on the couch & read a good book or watch a movie, time of year. When it's this cold, I don't like to go outside. I THINK I will do projects in the house & yet seldom get to them. Please be sure to keep an eye on your neighbors who not only don't want to get out but CAN'T get out. It felt odd not to be in our neighborhood meeting in January, after I have gone for 16 years in a row. But times change & so do we. Your Executive Board still stays busy having our board meetings & gathering & sharing information on the internet. There are several zoning concerns, liquor licenses, & permits that need addressed. We even created a separate meeting so that we can meet folks & find out more about their intentions before we approve or disapprove their requests. We also will be making a donation to several folks who helped to make our fall cookout a success: Harbel, Peat & Shauna Biby, & the two cooks who made it delicious. We are looking to have a social gathering so we stay connected in between our meetings. We will have an informal meet-up soon at Zeke's on Harford Rd. Details coming soon. Also a bowling league is starting up in the area for anyone interested. Please let us know what you are interested in doing. Our next meeting is Tuesday, February 4th at 7:30 pm . Remember, we have changed it to Tues & stayed with the first week of the month; still at Harbel. We will have a guest speaker from Retro-Fit Baltimore that educates homeowners about the benefits of home energy, which can help lower our energy bills. Hope to see you then. Spring is right around the corner, so stay warm! Be well, Helene President WIA

Block Captains
February 2014
Weve mentioned this in past newsletters & will continue to develop this concept. Since we are a small group, we need your help. If we utilize block captains as resources, we build a stronger team in all segments of the area. People would go directly to the block captains for their concerns. These would be filtered out, utilizing the resources & contact we have. Each block captain would have a list of contacts & then report back to the entire group & to the executive board. If everyone pitches in, we can all do our part. Please, find something that is your passion. Maybe gardening is your thing, maybe vacant houses really annoys you, maybe you want to help a neighbor whose house needs some repairs. Whatever be the case, if we all do our part, we can help each other.
