Upcoming Meeting – Schedule Change
The city and county have scheduled public meetings that conflict with our regular March 23 meeting and a number of you have indicated to me that you would like to attend one or the other of them. Because you should be able to represent your neighborhoods at these public meetings and attend INC meetings without conflict, we have rescheduled next week’s delegates’ meeting to April 6, 7 p.m., at First Presbyterian Church on East Main Street.
Our regular April meeting (4-27) will happen as scheduled.
Please note the change on your calendars.
Volunteers Needed to Cover Council and BOCC Meetings
I still need volunteers willing to attend meetings of the City Council and the Board of County Commissioners as representatives of INC. No one will have to speak at these meetings unless INC has taken a position on an item of business and the INC representative has volunteered for the speaking part. What we want is to establish a presence at these official meetings – to note important items and to report back. I would also like our volunteers to make contact with neighborhood groups who have turned out for a hearing or other item of business. The INC rep can introduce the neighborhood to INC and offer to help if we can.
We’ll have a sign up for this job – it won’t be for life.
Please consider volunteering.
INC Neighborhood Assistance Squads
I would like to put together two INC Neighborhood Assistance Squads to help new neighborhoods groups get themselves organized. I envision a squad consisting of no more than two or three people who would work together to help new neighborhood groups from having to reinvent the wheel.
Mike Shiflett and I used to do this and the experience was a really good one.
