November 2024 North Street Neighborhood Association Meeting Agenda

Our November meeting will be on Thursday, November 7th, at 6:30pm, at Bashford Church, with a call-in option (no video). You can view the meeting agenda, which includes the call-in information, meeting materials, and announcements. 

November is when we hold our officer elections. Any member is eligible to run to be an officer, and you can nominate yourself. We need to elect a secretary, treasurer, and co-chair. The secretary and treasurer are one-year positions, and the co-chair is a two-year position. The co-chair for this year must be a resident of Emerson East. The secretary and treasurer can be from either neighborhood. All members of the association who are present at the meeting can vote for officers.

There are a few items that will be added to the agenda once they are ready. Those are the minutes from October 2024 (which will be added directly into the agenda) and information from Bear Development about their project (which will probably be a link to a PDF).

Reminder: Time to renew your membership

If you’ve been a North Street Neighborhood Association member, thank you! If you are interested in joining, now is a great time.

Our membership year ended on August 31st. We hope you’ll continue to be a member for the membership year that starts September 1, 2024 and goes until August 31, 2025. You can renew your dues by going to https://northstreetna.org/join-nsna, where you can select whether you are an individual or a household, and how you’d like to pay your dues (as well as how to apply for a waiver of your dues).

If you are planning to come to the NSNA meeting on Thursday, September 5th, you should renew ahead of that so that you can vote at the meeting (anyone is always welcome to attend). You can even renew online and then bring your dues in cash or check (made out to North Street Neighborhood Association) to the meeting.

Note: if you have paid your dues since August 1st, you are all set for the year and don’t need to pay again until next year.

By the way, you should have gotten a postcard in the mail from us – we’re doing a neighborhood survey at https://northstreetna.org/survey, and we’d love to hear from you.
