Many thanks to everyone who sent in their letters in December to Mr. D.R. Goode, Chairman, Pres., CEO of Norfolk Southern. His assistant, Mr. John Friedmann, responded by having a letter sent to each person, stating that ?“ ?… Norfolk Southern has assumed responsibility for the crape myrtle trees located on NS property. In response to community concerns, the trees were not removed on January 2. Norfolk Southern?’s control will include maintenance and modification of the trees, just as any other property owner maintains or changes its property in your neighborhood.?” Let?’s keep an eye on our trees & make sure they don?’t come back later & pull them up.
Our annual meeting will be held at the East Side Cumberland Presbyterian Church on Thursday, April 19 at 7:00 p.m. Nancy Jane Baker, Memphis Landmarks Comission, will speak about Historic Conservation Zoning and we will also give an update on where EBHDNA is in the process. The meeting will be followed with light refreshments and social.
We also have several other events coming up. The annual Neighborhood Yard Sale will be Saturday morning, June 2nd and the Neighborhood Clean Up will be held on April 28th at 9:00 a.m. until 12:00. All those who wish to participate should meet in parking lot of Buntyn Presbyterian Church. Bring gloves and any tools that might be useful. Garbage bags and drinks will be provided. Rain date is May 5.
Don?’t forget that the EBHDNA window decals are for ale and will be available at the annual meeting. Cost is only $1.00 for a single decal and $1.50 for two. They really look great on the rear window of your car.
Finally, the election of our new officers. The proposed slate is: President- Shelly McKee, V.P. Shelly Vincent, Secretary- Stefanie Born, Treasurer- Cindie Kelly.
