New Board Members Elected for 2011-2013!

At last night's Annual Meeting, the attendees voted in a slate of candidates that included incumbents Phil Fuehrer, Stacey Van Patten, Sandy Rosbacka, Collins Dibaki, and Pastor Andy Berreth. In addition, newcomers Pauline Nixon and Gordon Westerberg became our newest board members. Both Pauline and Gordon live in the senior high-rise on Ruth and will add the perspective of those living in some of our large-scale rental communities. Welcome to them both, and we are happy to have all these board members serving the neighborhoods.

But we still have one vacant position on the board, so if you or someone you know is interested in serving until the next election, we can appoint to fill a vacancy.

Also last night, we heard the exciting work that our library, rec centers, faith communities and St. Paul Youth Services are doing for young people in our area. We have information from these folks in our office.

Finally, staff members from the Gateway Corridor Commission attended and talked to neighbors about the planning process for this transit corridor that will be coming in the next 10 years.

We had plenty of time for folks to talk with each other and with all these great organizations, to socialize and to celebrate.

We will be back to our regular community meetings in May (our board orientation is in late April...).

Thanks to everyone who worked on the event, who attended and presented, and who stood up to help guide our work!! And thanks to Conway Rec Center for hosting!
