Now’s the chance! The Society needs people like you who are passionate about the neighborhood and have ideas and energy to share. From first-time volunteer to leadership positions, the Society is looking for people who want to be a part of the neighborhood civic association. Leash laws in the parks, trolleys on High Street, support for the Office of Historic Preservation, bicycle parking in Goodale Park, restoration of the bus stop benches – these are just a few of the things that the Society has been involved in over the past year that might appeal to your inner advocacy. Maybe you like to throw parties – the Society needs people to help plan membership events and interesting presentations for monthly meetings. Or possibly you are a secret writer with a love for communication and story-telling – our Communication Committee needs help keeping the Society’s web site and email communications fresh and interesting.
