May

In our April meeting, we welcomed Mrs. Jessica Keller from the Department of Transportation to discuss the development review and traffic calming, Major Bloodsworth from the Southern District, and Evan Michel from the USS Sterrett. We also discussed the Association’s 2008 budget allocations and updates on the Spring Yard Sale and Summer Picnic.

Our May meeting will be the annual elections. This year we have ten seats open: five on our Board of Directors, and all five officer positions (president, vice-president, corresponding secretary, recording secretary and treasurer). Several folks have already contacted our Nominations Committee Chair Charlie Newcomb to let him know they are interested in running or re-running, but there is still time for those of you who are interested in being a candidate. Serving in a leadership position is a privilege and a real way to make a difference in the neighborhood, and shape the future of Locust Point. I encourage those who are interested to come out and get involved!

I would like to take this time also to give a special thanks to our outgoing or incumbent directors and officers – Sarah Clarkson, Ben Piccone, Colleen Wolfe, Teresa Alcorn, Tony Vittoria, Brian Mastervich, Yvonne Keller, Charlie Newcomb and Barbara Wilson. Many thanks for your hard work over the past two years. It has been a pleasure working with you and the Association would not be where it is today without each of your contributions. In addition, as I step down I want to thank everyone that has taken the time to work with me over the past two years and make Locust Point a better place to live. I truly feel that not only have I grown as an individual but that we as a community have grown as well. Look forward to seeing everyone in May.

-Paul Silberman, President
