[Summit] SNA needs your help

Dear Neighbors
 
As the out-going President of the Summit Neighborhood Association (SNA) I am
happy to announce the recent election of the SNA¹s new 2011 President, Dean
Weinberg.  Dean has proven himself as an active member of the SNA, last year
serving as Treasurer and leading the organizing for the 1st Annual Summit
Neighborhood Music Festival.  As I step down from my post, I would also like
to ask you to help support the work of the SNA in the coming year by
renewing your membership or by becoming a new member.
 
Your SNA $15.00 membership fee brings real value to you personally and to
the Summit neighborhood in all kinds of ways. Here¹s a ³Top Ten² list
highlighting just some of the SNA¹s accomplishments over this past year.
 
1. We sponsored two debates at the JCC featuring candidates for state senate
and state representative and a congressional candidate debate.
2. We worked on Miriam¹s master plan so that the interests of the neighbors
would be heard. 
3. To help with the revitalization of North Main Street, we supported the
formation of a new North Main Street Merchant Association
4. On the subject of revitalization of North Main Street, we successfully
negotiated with the city to have the one-way block on Smithfield Avenue
restored to a two way street.  The change will happen this spring thanks to
the help of Gordon Fox and Kevin Jackson.
5. We helped the group ŒParents for Lippit Park¹ construct a new children¹s
play-scape.  Parents for Lippit Park raised the money and SNA supported the
effort with volunteer hours.
6. We sponsored a neighborhood-wide yard sale, which I hope brought
financial benefit to you.
7. We held the first annual music festival in Lippit Park, enjoyed by
hundreds of local residents.
8. This spring, water will flow again in the Lippit Park fountain thanks to
several years of work and advocacy by SNA board members.
9. Lets not forget the list server that so many of you use on a daily basis,
moderated and funded by the SNA. The list-serve is just one great example of
how the SNA helps inform the neighborhood.  Summit at sna.providence.ri.us
10. We also write and distribute four newsletters a year and this year
created a new web site and blog to keep you all apprised of the SNA¹s
activities. www.sna.providence.ri.us
 
As you can see the work that the Summit Neighborhood Association does is
worth a great deal more than your $15.00 annual membership fee.  Thank you
for becoming a member and supporting the work of our local neighborhood
association. It is neighbors working together that make this a great
neighborhood to live in.
 
You can make your $15.00 membership check out to The Summit Neighborhood
Association and mail it to The Summit Neighborhood Association, P.O. Box
41092, Providence, RI 02940.
 
Thanks again, it has been a pleasure serving as the SNA¹s President this
past year.
 
 
George Schietinger, Outgoing President
Summit Neighborhood Association
