ANA Minutes - April 27

AUBURNDALE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION (ANA)

CELEBRATES 1st ANNIVERSARY

April 27

 

Dozens of residents gathered at Kenwood Elementary School for the regular monthly meeting.   A representative from Metro Government, Amanda Clephas began the proceedings with a proclamation from Mayor Jerry Abramson declaring April 27 as AURBURNDALE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION in Louisville.

 

Amanda assisted area residents who laid the groundwork for the ANA.  She complemented the residents from the early interest and continued support throughout the 2009-2010 administrative year.

 

ANA knows and understands the importance of communication by:

 

• A concerted effort to reach the entire Auburndale area through newsletters, Website, electronic notices such as Ratterman’s.

 

• Recognizing that ANA extends from Cristland on the southwest, to Southside and Palatka on the northeast

 

• Understanding that priorities among residents may not always be the same.

 

• That we all share the goals of a safe and clean neighborhood, good   roads, parks maintained in good order and access to shopping and quality restaurants.

 

Ken McFarland and Ken Williams co-chaired the evening’s program.

 

McFarland presented a progress report and photos on the Old Third\Clayborne entrance beautification project.  For more information and\or photos visit ANA NEIGHBORHOODLINK or FACEBOOK WEBSITES.
