30 Residents Attend 3rd Annual Neighborhood Meeting
Approximately 30 members of the Hillcrest Neighborhood
Association met in the Hillcrest School Library on Tuesday, February 5, 2013,
for the third annual meeting to which the entire membership was invited. Representatives of The Big Event, a KU
community service project, distributed information and forms and answered
questions about this April 13 program.
President Sean Williams called the meeting to order at 7:00
p.m., welcoming the attendees. Stacey
Wohlford presented the treasurer's report, informing the group of the present
balance and describing the nature of HNA expenditures. Betsy Evans introduced the sections leaders,
seven of whom were present.
After introducing guest speaker Bob Byers, President
Williams turned the meeting over to Vice President Michelle Davis. Mr. Byers, USD #497 School Board member,
presented the argument in support of a school bond issue coming before the
voters on April 2, 2013. This
no-tax-increase bond aims to equip our teachers and students with tools for 21st
century teaching and learning and includes improvement of facilities,
enhancement of technology and expansion of career and technical educational
opportunities. Mr. Byers and Rick
Ingram, another School Board member present, answered questions and distributed flyers. They requested that HNA members
spread the word and help get out the vote for passage of this bond.
Following the presentation described above, Board members
briefly described projects and activities sponsored by HNA the past year. Betsy Evans gave a projected plan for cleanup
of the “Welcome” boulder this spring; the success of the “green ribbon
campaign,” a neighborhood effort to show support for the non-closure and non-consolidation
of neighborhood elementary schools was discussed by several members, as was the
potluck gathering at Hillcrest School playground in the summer of 2012 and the
chili tasting and Halloween parade in the fall.
Anthony Lang reported on the cleanup of the 9th Street
sidewalk between Avalon and Sunset by volunteers and offered to submit the
paperwork to The Big Event for a repeat of this activity. Neighbor Earl Schweppe suggested that
participants in The Big Event direct their helpers to Water Tower Park for a
similar cleanup; this idea was well received.
Sarah Martin, editor of the HNA newsletter, reminded attendees of HNA's
most recent electronic presence, a blog called hillcrestlawrence.blogspot.com
and encouraged everyone to look at and use it.
A suggestion was made to post information about HNA at the library.
The candidates for Board positions were elected unanimously
by the membership: Sean Williams,
President; Stacey Wohlford, Recording Secretary; Betsy Evans, Operations
Secretary. Also unanimously passed were
revisions to the bylaws, which more accurately describe the responsibilities of
these three Board positions.
Bob Buddemeier, representing the Lawrence Jewish CommunityCongregation, requested that HNA members consider participating in a service
for childcare that his community intends to introduce soon.
The meeting adjourned at 8:15 PM.
