It is an important meeting since the leadership of the association is selected for the year ahead.
A message from the current president, Clay Davis:
We are especially in need of folks to fill the executive roles: President, VP, Treasurer, and Secretary. I'll stop beating you over the head with dire tales of what will happen if no one steps forward to fill these roles; we just need for someone to step up and do it.
Those 'dire tales' are the fact that as a nonprofit, JPNA needs to have a functioning group of officers to maintain its nonprofit status. If you have any interest - or any questions about serving - don't be shy. Contact Clay Davis at the email of jpnapresident@gmail.com.
And here's what Clay wrote about the role of the JPNA has in the neighborhood:
The JPNA is one of the features that attracted a lot of us to the neighborood, and it relies entirely on the free, hard work of the people who live here. If you're happy with what the JPNA has done for you, volunteer and continue it! If you hate what we've done or think you could expand it and do it better, this is your chance to change it. The most important things are that you're dedicated, resourceful, and reliable, and that you care about your neighborhood and your neighbors. If you haven't been involved before and don't know where to start, this is your chance. You'll have plenty of volunteers and the support of the folks who've been in your shoes before to help you along.
But the November meeting isn't all business. In the past, the meeting has had a bit of a Thanksgiving flair - think food.
The meeting is Tuesday at the Jefferson Avenue Baptist Church meeting hall. It starts at 7 p.m.
