TLNA President's Report
Richard Linster
In this and the previous article I have put a name to each committee and
its activities. These folks are neighbors just like you, and could use your
help in continuing to make things happen. Contact them and become a part
of the community.
Parks/Playgrounds is chaired by David Wallner. Take a look at Reynolds
Field, particularly the corner garden at Dayton and Paterson, or Tenney
Park's new equipment and butterfly garden near Johnson and Marston. Notice
also Filene Park's extension with all new landscaping, plantings, and benches,
and Giddings behind Christ Presbyterian Church. Also, the Welcome Garden
between Johnson and Gorham just west of Baldwin Street and the project begun
last year at Brearly and Gorham are worth a look. Hats off to the dedicated
folks who accomplished all this work.
Publicity is chaired by Tom Sullivan, and produces the newsletter
and other information sources. Look over and read through the newsletter,
and take a moment to imagine all the work, thought and care that Tom and
Others put into it issue after issue.
While Safety is the newest TLNA committee, Kathi Bresnehan has lost
no time in providing residents and the association with information, and
a closer relationship with the Police Department and other agencies in an
effort to make this a safer community.
Over the year our Social Committee has been active in around the
calendar events such as the Annual meeting and Spaghetti dinner, Winter
Potluck, Pancake supper and Ice Cream social as well as special occasions
for our membership to attend. Anne Katz has coordinated all these activities
and has gotten the work crews out for them.
Rex Loehe is busy earning his spurs as Traffic/Transportation chair.
He has arranged recent meetings of the committee as joint ones with our
neighbors from Old Market Place and East Emerson. He rightly perceives that
these issues will have to be addressed at more than a neighborhood level
and is forging contacts in surrounding areas and with the City.
I can't forget our Area Representatives - John Aagaard, Bob Shaw,
Ed Jepsen and Brad Franklin. These are the people to thank for getting the
newsletter and meeting notices to you!
