MIDTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS
NOVEMBER 1995

Message from the President
Approximately 60 people attended our first pot-luck meeting held on November 14. We shared dinner, information about the association and heard from Councilwoman Molly McKasson.

Officers were chosen for the group. They are: Martha Cooper, President (327-4733), David Kha, Vice-President (323-8278) and Brad Holland, Secretary-Treasurer (327-2558) . Our meetings will be held on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 4108 E. North Street.

We shall continue the format of a covered dish potluck and in lieu of dues, a free-will offering will be collected. Our motto: Bring a dish and a dollar!

Message from Molly
I was very honored to be at your last neighborhood meeting. I have enjoyed working with the midtown neighbors for the past two years on variety of projects – from tree plantings to parenting classes. There is such a wonderful mix of people and energy here. I hope we can take those beautiful children’s drawings of a park at Wright Elementary and make them a reality. I will continue to work with all of you to create a safer, more beautiful and friendly neighborhood. (Signed) Molly McKasson.

Crime Prevention
Officer Mike Orozco of Crime Prevention Unit of TPD has written to express his thanks for being included on the agenda at last month’s meeting. Mike, who grew up in our neighborhood, presented pamphlets of safe home design, simple and inexpensive home security and anti-tagging strategies. Mike has assured us that he will help us in any way he can.
