I know this has been a hot subject around the hood - but am stunned to see that UNI used an email to ARNA members to annouce their meeitng regarding the new development, knowing that ARNA had a discussion planned of its own.
Obvuously there was a reason to form ARNA. A need in our neighborhood.
Pat Williamson, who belongs to both organizations say UNI wants to liason and cooperate with ARNA. I think that ARNA needs to develop its own voice.
The purposes of ARNA are spelled out. The membership is growing. Together we are working for a stronger, better neighborhood. I see no need to liason with another group. We need to develop our own organization. UNI has nothing to do with ARNA and should not where the opinions of our membership is concerned.
I think UNI needs to stop trying to create an imaginary battle. Many of us joined ARNA because it was the first time we have been encouraged to get involved in our neighborhood. If both organizations are working for the betterment of the neighborhood seperately then the end result will be the betterment of the neighborhood.
Let's stand on our own and let the voices of ARNA members be heard. I don't think that is being uncooperative. I think it is being our own group!
If you disagree, respond. Any anonymous responses will be assumed to be UNI members who got the link from Pat.
