All, I know it's last minute, but thought to post this on-line here. A new HOA for the portion of Henderson east of Cochran Heights to Ross is starting up tonight. 7:00pm @ Veritas
See invite I received below. Show up if you can.
More information can be obtain from: hendersonneighbors@gmail.com
Fellow Neighbors:
Several friends and I have spent the last few weeks contacting residents of our area to gauge their interest in establishing a neighborhood association dedicated to increasing the quality of life in our unique corner of Dallas, and I am excited to report that we have received an emphatic response from almost everyone we have spoken to (over 45 people to date)!
Starting a neighborhood crime watch was near the top of everyone's list of priorities, and having a network of email addresses to quickly and efficiently communicate news on thefts, vehicle break-ins, and other area nuisances should go a long way in helping us all feel safer here. Many of you were also excited about the opportunity to get to know your neighbors better through quarterly (or monthly) meetings and events, so I'm really looking forward to our first meeting when we all will have a chance to meet each other in person.
We have arranged to have Veritas Wine Room (2323 N. Henderson Avenue) host our first meeting next Tuesday, December 15th at 7:00 PM, and we plan to keep the "formal" portion of the meeting as short as possible so everyone has an opportunity to socialize.
We hope to adopt a set of bylaws for the Henderson Neighborhood Association (I'd be happy to email a draft of the bylaws in MS Word format to anyone who is interested in reviewing them before this first meeting, please just ask!), elect officers, discuss proposed neighborhood association committees and volunteer opportunities for area residents, and hear news on an urban art competition area artist Scott Trent has organized for Henderson Avenue.
As currently proposed, the Henderson Neighborhood Association boundaries would encompass the north side of Ross Avenue between Henderson Avenue and Fitzhugh Avenue, the east side of Fitzhugh Avenue, to the south side of Mission Street, the center of Henderson Avenue, the south side of Belmont Avenue, the west side of McMillan Avenue, the west side of Henderson Avenue from McMillan Avenue to Ross Avenue. This area currently lacks representation by any other area neighborhood association and it's about time we organized to help make our neighborhood a better place!
Please invite all of your neighbors that live within this boundary to attend, and we look forward to seeing you again next Tuesday. If you have any questions between now and then please don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
So, any updates or news from the meeting ?
