FHNA UPCOMING VISIONING CHARRETTE FOR SAN PEDRO STREETSCAPE: SATURDAY JUNE 11, 2011

The Fair Heights Neighborhood Association is sponsoring a visioning charrette in collaboration with the UNM School of Architecture and Planning. We welcome residents, businesses and organizations of FHNA and surrounding neighborhoods to contribute their ideas for the future of the San Pedro Streetscape. The Visioning Charrette will be held on Saturday June 11, 2011 from 10 am to 2 p.m. at Mark Twain Elementary School located at 6316 Constitution. A light lunch will be provided. Contact Elvira Lopez at 266-3509 or elvirajr@yahoo.com for more information.

Thanks to all members who voted in the most recent election, and welcome to the new and returning board members and committee chairs! Thanks also to the outgoing board members and volunteers who have worked so hard in their spare time to make Fair Heights a great neighborhood to live in.

The FHNA Board presented Ike and Sharon Eastvold with “Outstanding Service to the FHNA” awards for their eighteen years of volunteer work on behalf of a better Fair Heights neighborhood. Term limit provisions in the FHNA Bylaws require that a Board member must step off the Board for at least one year after serving two consecutive 2-year terms. Ike Eastvold and Susan De Rosa both completed their four years of service, and have left the Board. Sharon Eastvold has delivered the FHNA Newsletter into the able hands of our new editor, Danielle De Rosa.

The Leadership page has been updated. We’ll see you at the next meeting!
