Thank you to everyone who came out to our General Meeting/Annual Election this evening! The results of the election are as follows
Bylaws were approved unanimously. One small change was proposed in Section 4.3 to remove "shall be extended to" and change it to "shall be extended to those who meet at least one of the following criteria". See Bylaws at the end of this post.
All candidates were elected unanimously, they are as follows
Emily McMillan - Co-chair of the Clean Committee
JG McMillan - Secretary
Cheryl Henderson - Co-chair of the Education Committee
Tom Hawthorn - Co-chair of the Green Committee
Congratulations to everyone!
Additionally, the following important topics were discussed:
- We will be holding a special election, most likely in January. This election will definitely include Vice President, Treasurer, up to 15 At-large board members, and Co-chairs of Clean, Green, Education, Town Watch. If you would like to run for any of these positions, and you live within our boundaries of 18th to 25th, Passyunk to Mifflin, please let us know in writing (you can email at westpassyunkneighborsAThotmail.com)
- Our Holiday Party will be held at St Edmond's Church (21st & Snyder) on Wednesday Dec 11th. The time has not been decided yet but it will be somewhere within the window of 6pm to 10pm. It will be a potluck/byob (beer and wine only). We will also be asking folks to bring non-perishable food items to donate to the Church's food pantry and will also be asking for a $25 suggested donation to help cover the costs. IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT NIGHT!
- It looks like we will be changing our meeting place and time starting in January 2014. New location will be St Edmond's Church (21st & Snyder) and they will be the 2nd Monday of every month from 6:30 to 7:30 pm in the Chapel (enter from the parking lot).
- We received $500 from the Tire Roundup, which we will be using toward our Non-profit application!
- We are organizing a Non-perishable food drive for St Edmond's Food Pantry between Thanksgiving and Christmas in hopes that it will continue to be sustainable beyond Christmas. If anyone is interested in helping to organize this food drive, please let us know at westpassyunkneighborsAThotmail.com. Currently non-perishable food items can be dropped off at the Rectory, Monday thru Thursday 10am to 3pm.
- A goal for 2014 is to get committees in place with committee members. We've had committee chairs for sometime now, but we need to get members for each committee. Let us know if you are interested in joining any of our committees (Green, Clean, Outreach & Events, Education, Zoning, Town Watch)
