At our October meeting, we voted to submit an application under the City of Austin Neighborhood Partnering Program (NPP) for sidewalk repairs, and furnish up to $20,000 of association funds for this project.

The City has formally invited us to submit our application.

The NPP Special Committee will be meeting to discuss our application. All members who wish to have input on this project are welcome to attend.

Updated to reflect the new deadline, which has been extended to Wednesday, December 1.

The following message is from Evelin Nunes Vorzimmer, NSCNA Nominating Committee Chairperson:

Dear Neighbors,

Here we are, close to the end of another year and full of desires, dreams and expectation for the coming year. In that spirit, we would like to invite you to participate more actively in our neighborhood association. We need you.

In January we will have our annual election. We are looking for individuals who appreciate working with others, who have a strong sense of community and who enjoy making a difference.

We are looking for people to fill four officer positions: President, Vice-President, Treasurer and Secretary, as well as members for the Board of Directors. We envision a diverse group, aiming for the best interest of our community.

If you are interested, please contact me via email (evorzimmer@austin.rr.com) by Friday, November 19 Wednesday, December 1.

Please include a brief statement (maximum of 250 words) addressing the following points:

1. Where you live and how long you have lived in the neighborhood.
2. Tell us about your past involvement in the NSCNA, if any.
3. Your thoughts about priorities for the NSCNA.
4. What committees you would like to be involved in. Current committees: Membership, Media, Bylaws, Beautification, Development, Safety, Social, Traffic, Nominating (in the Fall), Election (for January meeting).
5. What you want the membership to know about you

We are excited about the new possibilities, so please join us in this new journey.

Thanks,

Evelin Nunes Vorzimmer

Chairperson of the Nominating Committee

Time: 6:30 – 8 pm
Location: Pillow Elementary, 3025 Crosscreek Dr.

NSCNA will hold a general membership meeting on Tuesday, November 9. The agenda will primarily cover two main topics.

First, we will select a five-member Nominating Committee. Every January, we elect a new Board of Directors and Officers for the year. The Nominating Committee is responsible for recommending candidates for these positions, so they are an important influence on the future direction of our association. We have collected names of some people interested in serving on this committee, and will open the floor to further nominations at the meeting.

We also will be receiving a report from the Bylaws Committee, with recommendations for bylaws changes, and a vote on the proposal. Notification of the proposed changes was sent by postal mail to all NSCNA members last week. You can download a copy of the proposed changes here.

Thanks to Don Jones for the photos.
