NEW BOARD ENCOURAGES YOUR PARTICIPATION
by Willie Nolan, BWNA President
At the recent general election meeting, several officers and board members were elected to serve in the BWNA. I appreciate the enthusiasm and energy exhibited by each and everyone present. I am very encouraged by the willingness of these individuals to take a leadership role in maintaining the charm of this wonderful neighborhood and look forward to working with everyone to accomplish the Association?’s goals. A special thanks is in order to those outgoing and the ongoing officers and board members who have helped to continue and build upon our neighborhood association?’s tradition of accomplishment.
We recently held a board retreat to discuss topics and goals for the next few years. Among the upcoming events are two in which everyone should plan to participate. The first is our annual picnic held the first Tuesday in August. This is held at Wilshire Park in conjunction with the National Night Out celebration. The second is the annual Fremont Fest. Scheduled for Saturday, August 5th, the event promises to be more fun than ever.
I would like to encourage anyone interested in taking an ownership role in their community to participate by either volunteering in upcoming projects or by voicing their opinion on relevant topics at the bi-monthly general meetings. For those unable to attend the meetings, questions and concerns are welcome and can be directed to any of the listed board members and officers. Probably the best approach is by email, if available. Anyone requiring a ride to the general meeting is encouraged to call a board member a few days before the meeting. We will be happy to assist.
I look forward to serving as your president and to seeing everyone at the next meeting.
