We had a great turnout for our annual meeting a few weeks
ago at View Ridge Elementary.
I’m encouraged that so many of our neighbors are willing to
step up and get involved!
This email is going out to all of you that were at our
annual meeting or have attended a VRCC Safety meeting in the last two years.
- I’m attaching our
meeting agenda showing our discussing topics.
- Thank you Ann Forrest
for talking to us about emergency preparedness in case of a disaster in
our city.
- I’ve attached Ann’s
contact info if anyone has more questions or wants Ann to help you and
your block be prepared.
- Ann Forrest - 360-550-2234 - aaforrest@hotmail.com
- We also discussed our
current VR neighborhood initiative - Safe Streets for all.
- I appreciate the
feedback on the current state of our need for street safety improvements
especially along the NE 70th St corridor.
- Several neighbors
mentioned the organization “Feet First” as a possible partner to
help us achieve our safe streets initiative.
- I’ve reached out and
will set up a meeting, thank you!
- We just set a meeting
for this Thursday the 7th with CM Pacheco’s chief of staff,
Noah An, to discuss city budget support for our NE 70th St
project improvements, stay tuned…
- We will communicate
through this direct email with updates on our progress to complete our
saftey improvements along NE 70th St.
- Communication – Neighborhood
outreach will be a top priority of the VRCC moving into 2020.
- Several neighbors
mentioned that our committee, the View Ridge Community Council, is not
known by most of our VR neighborhood.
- Several ideas on how
to better communicate –
- Get list of Block
Watch Captains from SPD and disseminate info through the captains to
each of their blocks.
- Direct mailers like
the postcard for Party in the Park with the Annual mtg notice on the
back. Newsletter?
- Social media, i.e.
Facebook and Nextdoor
- Online Blog for the
View Ridge neighborhood – Andrew Taylor has agreed to help me set up a
blog or something similar to communicate. Thank you!
- Look for more
communication coming from our current process of direct emails and
social media along with some new routes online and direct mailers.
- Election of Officers for
2020 –
- We asked for volunteers
to fill our official committee spots and the following we’re approved
with a unanimous vote of the meeting attendees –
- President – Robert
Johnson
- Treasurer – Liz Harris
- Secretary – Ruth
Windhover
Please feel free to reach out directly to me with any
questions, concerns or comments.
Thank you,
Robert B Johnson | President VRCC + Safety Committee
