(Alameda Resident and former Chair of the
Alameda Community Association)
The Alameda Community Association (BWNA?’s neighbor to the west) has been without a newsletter for a year! The previous Editor and the Layout Person both took on other obligations late last year and the Board has been unable to fill the vacancies. We are also looking for someone to gather advertisements for the newsletter.
If your friends, relatives or you live in the Alameda neighborhood, here is an opportunity to become involved. The newsletter team consists of four people: the Editor, the Layout Person, the Advertising Person, and the Distribution Person. We currently have a Distribution Person?—Thank You Elizabeth Shepherd! Newsletters are produced five times per year (every other month except July/August). Board members and neighborhood residents provide the articles.
The EDITOR attends monthly Board meetings (4th Monday of the month*), sets deadlines for articles, solicits articles from Board and community members, edits all articles and coordinates with the Layout Person. The LAYOUT PERSON organizes all articles and advertising into the newsletter format, and works closely with the Editor and Advertising Person. The ADVERTISING PERSON contacts area businesses and puts their paid advertising in the newsletter.
The newsletter helps unify our neighborhood and enables us to communicate about community issues, events, and public safety. We want it back!! If you are interested in resurrecting the newsletter, or if you have questions, call Ken Bailey, Chair at 503-287-1685 or Gene Avery, Treasurer at 503-284-1314. >>>
*Monthly board meetings are held at 7 PM, 4th Monday of the month (except December) at the Fremont United Methodist Church, 2620 NE Fremont. Neighborhood residents are encouraged and welcome to attend.
