Rolling Out NEPNA for 2010
The February meeting kicked off the 2010 year for NEPNA. There’s a lot to cover – so here’s a quick summary to bring everyone up to speed:
NEPNA Website - Our website has been tweaked for 2010. We’ve updated the NEPNA Homepage with new text and a list of our neighborhood awards; Listed our 2010 Get to Know a NEPNA Neighbor families; and Announced the NEPNA Leadership for 2010.
Pay Membership Dues With PayPal – The JOIN NEPNA! tab on our website provides a PayPal option to pay your $20 annual membership dues. Just enter your name and address, check the PayPal payment option, and submit – then you’ll be redirected to the secure PayPal site. Membership dues will be collected through March, so please utilize PayPal or bring checks to the March meeting. Supporting your neighborhood feels really good.
NEPNA Logo – An official NEPNA logo is in the works and will be finalized over the next couple months. The logo will be featured on signs along the proposed North Bay trail and (hopefully) on street signs and other locations to help distinguish Northeast Park.
Membership Drive (Free Pizza) – The Hansen Family came through with the most new neighbor email addresses and won the free pizza from Tour de Pizza. Well done. Free slices coupons will be sent out soon. Thanks to all for spreading the word about NEPNA.

NEPNA Monthly Meetings - Our monthly meeting topics will be focused on overarching topics like where your local tax money goes and opportunities to deliver reclaimed water to Northeast Park at a fraction of the typical connection cost. We’ve worked hard to line up speakers that are topical and informative – so the meetings will be an hour well spent.
Special Events – We’ve heard from many of our neighbors requesting more social interaction events in the neighborhood. Three new special events have been added to the calendar:
- Neighborhood Yard Sale in April by request of several neighbors.
- The Dog Days of Summer party is back and even better – the first Saturday in June after school ends.
- We’ll celebrate the extension of the North Bay Trail down 1st Street with a 5K (non-timed) fun run / walk and big party.
- And end the NEPNA year with A Taste of Northeast Park featuring our outstanding restaurants from the neighborhood.
We look forward to another outstanding year of being the advocates for your neighborhood. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome.
