Mid-City Neighborhood Organization

The MCNO Board of Directors held its first meeting of 2008 last night. We welcomed 11 returning board members, and 6 new board members. Our first order of business was to elect Officers, the results are as follows:

President - Jennifer Weishaupt
Chair - To Be Determined
Vice President - Virginia Blanque
Treasurer - Becker Rutledge
Secretary - Angela Brenneke
Membership Coordinator - Lauri Hengl

Congratulations to the new Officers, and thanks to each of you for accepting this challenge!

In addition, we worked to assign board members to Committee & Liaison Roles. Many of our new board members are still determining where their skills and interests are best suited, so more updates to come. The full list of assignments can be viewed here.

In order for MCNO to continue its success in rebuilding the Mid-City neighborhood, I ask you to do two things:

1. Become a member of MCNO (or plan to renew your current membership) by clicking this link.

Our successes in City Hall, in receiving grants, and in partnering with other organizations relies on the strength of our membership. In addition, the funds from membership are needed to accomplish our mission. Your board members are VOLUNTEERS, but implementing our rebuilding plan has COSTS.

2. Pick an area that interests you, contact that board member and VOLUNTEER. Be specific - there are many ways to help THAT DON’T INVOLVE GOING TO MEETINGS!

Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to a successful year.
