June
In my first “President’s Message”, I would like to
take the opportunity to thank our out-going President,
Paul Silberman for the truly outstanding job he did over the
past two years. The Locust Point Civic Association and the
Locust Point community have come a long way in that time
and we did so smoothly under Paul’s adept leadership.
Thanks also to Yvonne Keller and Barbara Wilson for their
wonderful work on the Board of Directors. All three have
promised to stay active in the community in different ways,
so we should see them often. When you do, please take a
moment to thank them for their hard work.
I would also like the welcome our three new Board members,
Matt Craig, Jack Frederick and Charles Webster. All
three bring a lot of good ideas and energy and we are
excited to have them on the Board. Please take a moment to
introduce yourselves to them when you get a chance.
Now on to business – at the upcoming June general meeting,
we will get a presentation from Struever Bros. Eccles
& Rouse regarding their new plans for the Tide Point development.
While the new plan has been scaled down considerably
from the plan that we saw in March, the project will
still have impacts – both good and not so good – on the
neighborhood. This is an excellent opportunity for the community
to ask questions and provide further input on the
plan.
Please also plan on participating in the Civic Association’s
Yard Sale, which is scheduled for Saturday, June 21. Please
contact Sarah Clarkson at sarahclarkson3@verizon.net if
you have any questions.
I look forward to seeing you in June!
–Tony Vittoria, President
