It's been nearly two year since Del Goss, (MNA President)and Donna Giles, (MNA Secretary) started talking about forming The Montopolis Neighborhood Association.
Now here it is, February 2009 and the MNA not only has been formed, but we have elected our first, two-year-term Executive Committee! They are as follows:
President: Delwin Goss
Vice-President: Gabe Vega
Secretary: Donna Giles
Treasurer:(In Transition)
Community Partnerships Coordinator: Florence Ponziano
Montopolis is changing at a break neck pace. Apartments and Condos are going up everywhere. Did anyone contact you about this? I didn't think so.
BUT...we can unite and therefore have a voice. We can say what we want and what we don't want.
A representative will make every meeting we hear about so Montopolis can put their two cents in.
We are tired of being ignored and walked on.
We, as a united community can stand up for what we want and need.
The time is now!
The stakeholders have had two meetings so far. One on July 8 and the other on August 14.
There will be a public meeting for this on September 13, 2008 to be held at the Travis High School Cafeteria.
Every one who can should attend this meeting as it affects us all.
Crime is nothing new to Montopolis.
Please report any crime you see happening to 911.
I also urge you to attend the South Central Area Command Commander's Forums.
This gives the community a chance to express concerns and receive updates as to what APD is doing to help us.
