Neighborhood Business: The Upcoming Meeting

Now that I and some board members have distributed several hundred fliers with this blog's address, there are probably new readers interested in the association itself, as well as this meeting that the flier was advertising. Well, here's an article I originally wrote up for the member newsletter, which won't be ready until after the meeting (it'll make it easier to figure out who's a member anyway).


The board of directors of the South Campus Area Neighborhood invite you to the annual meeting, to be held Sunday, September 7, 2008 at 7:00 PM at the Crawford School.

Officer Harry Samms, our Community Resource Officer from the Ames Police Department will be speaking on the Certified Crime-Free Housing initiative that his department has been working on, as well as general policing and crime prevention in our area.


We encourage all residents and interested parties to attend, including owner-occupants, renters, landlords, and business owners.


As at all our annual meetings, we will enroll members for the 08-09 year and elect people to our board of directors. Voting and holding office are the only meeting activities limited to our paid members.


Gloria Betcher of the Historic Preservation Committee will update us on all of their activities. We will also have reports from our president, Fern Kupfer; treasurer, Steve Ringlee; and new public relations director, Helen Colvin.



Yep, that's me there at the end. For more about SCAN check out this blog's very first post.

You all are certainly entitled to have your very own "better people" club where ever you want it. But I'm not sure where you get the idea that all of us average homeowners in the neighborhood need to come to your "meeting" in order to make you feel even more superior. Please quit leaving your trash in my storm door.
