Spring Meeting
& Elections

Thursday, April 13:   7:00pm

 

The FHHD Spring Meeting is next week!   Meet your neighbors at this twice-a-year District meeting in the basement meeting space of the First Baptist Church, at the corner of Beech and Nowlin.   Enter through the back door next to the church parking lot.  

 

Spring Elections:

There are seven members of the FHHD Board of Directors.   At this meeting, four of the positions will be up for election.   If you would like to take a more active role in our neighborhood, please consider filling one of these two year positions.   After the election, the new board will elect which members will fill the roles of President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer.

 

Park Planning:

We will have volunteer sign up sheets at the meeting for this growing season at the Park Street park.   Please think about signing up for one of the weekends to either cut the grass with your mower, or help weed the gardens.   We will also see if there is interest in having a spring planting day for the park.

 

Annual Edison Street Sale, Bake Sale, and Raffle:

The annual Edison Street Sale will be on Saturday, June 3.   Many people on Edison (and the other FHHD streets) have garage sales on this day.   The FHHD has two fundraisers during this sale:   A bake sale and a raffle.   Any local business owners who could donate prizes should contact Bill O’Reilly at 730-1932.
