April President's message
Mark your Calendars – Important upcoming May and June meetings
In preparation for Hurricane Season, we will devote much of our May meeting to “being prepared.” We will have the experts here to talk to you. We want you to take this information back to your neighborhoods. Put the facts in your newsletters, set up a neighborhood policy on how to deal with a catastrophe now while you have time to work out all the details. Better to be safe and ready now then very, very sorry later.
To honor our CONA heritage, we will be having a special President’s Night for our June meeting. We are inviting all our past CONA Presidents and city officials to join us for a Social Night of Celebration. We want to share our history with all our newer members.Hopefully, our past Presidents can take 5 minutes each and tell us the major concerns they faced during their administration. Let’s see what has changed in the neighborhoods and what “challenges” we still face.
CONA Meeting – April Programs
As part of our monthly City Department Program, Mike Connors will be here to discuss the Budget and the potential changes depending on what tax cut passes the Florida State Legislature. It is very important that we all stay informed and understand what the proposed changes will mean to our City and to each of our Neighborhoods.
CONA Service Officers Program Review
Thanks to each of the neighborhoods who turned in their survey. The Committee has received and tallied the results. We appreciate the time you spent answering the questions or making suggestions for additional assistance.
CONA By-Laws
Thank you to the Committee and CONA members for working to update our CONA By-Laws. We have added members to the Executive Board to help us keep up with the extraordinary workload this year. Please call any of your officers or Board members with your questions, concerns, issues. Also, where available, please use e-mail. It allows us to pass that concern on to the appropriate person or city department for a quick resolution to your problem.
As you can see, 2007 is going to be very busy. We need your help and your participation. Please join your CONA friends in “working together for a better St. Petersburg.”
PS – Please pay your overdue CONA dues now to Keith Locke, Treasurer.
Barbara Heck
CONA President
