Survey Results

Thanks to everyone who participated in the neighborhood survey, both at the November meeting and those who submitted surveys afterwards. The surveys have been tabulated, and we have include a summary of the results below. As you can tell, there are a wide variety of issues that are of interest to our residents. The Association's leadership committee will be using the results to shape upcoming activities and areas of concentration for future activities. (Our appreciation goes out to Lea Ann Kannady for compiling the survey results.)

The leadership committee met in early January to review the survey results and plan a general course of action on top projects to tackle in the coming year. The top issue of concern was neighborhood safety, which will be the focus of the next general neighborhood meeting. We are planning the next general meeting will be held in March. When the day and time for the next meeting has been set, we will post information to this site, as well as distribute flyers door to door.

Stay tuned for more meeting details and more, as they develop.

Also - many thanks to those residents who generously donated money during the November meeting. With those donations and various aluminum can collections, the Association now has $205.09 in its treasury, which has been deposited in a local bank account. These monies will be used to help fund the association projects, including developing a newletter, neighborhood directory and other tasks. (Thanks go to our treasurer, Erica Parker, for her efforts.)

If you have any feedback on the survey results, or would like to volunteer for a specific project, please feel free to send an email to: mayomeadow -at- hotmail.com.
