Salemtown Neighbors Neighborhood Association Meeting Minutes
May 22, 2017
Meeting was called to order at 603pm by Lindsey Cox (SNNA president). A list of the members and guests in attendance will be maintained on record.
1.Community Reports
a.Mitch Kornberg- Community Liaison Officer Metro Nashville PD
Sgt. Kornberg was unable to attend this month’s meeting
b.Metro Councilman Freddie O’Connell
Freddie was unable to attend this months meeting.
2.Committee Reports:
a.Neighbors to Neighbors (Social Outreach):
i.Teacher Appreciation Week (May 1-5) at Buena Vista Elementary
With the help of a whole team of neighbors, Teacher Appreciation week was a rousing success. They enjoyed a week of activities including, breakfast, lunch, a coffee bar, and a raffle with over $1500 in prizes. Thank you notes have been mailed from SNNA to all donors.
ii.Summer School Supply Drive
We held our first school supply drive for Buena Vista Elementary last summer, and plan on doing it again this year, starting in June with Pink Flamingo Happy Hour. They anticipate reduced enrolment next year, which is accompanied with a resulting drop in funding. Therefore donations of supplies, uniforms and technology will be even more important. If your company is looking for a place to make a donation, this would be a great opportunity as the school needs to replace computers and other high dollar items.
Another goal of N2N is to connect neighbors with social service projects that they are passionate about. If you are interested in volunteering in anyway, contact Mindy Quinn, and she will help you find a project. There are plenty of opportunities available performing a diverse set of services in and around our neighborhood.
b.Social Committee
i.Pink Flamingo Happy Hours (Thursdays in June and July 630pm)
Currently looking to fill the calendar with host houses.
3.Updates from Board Members
a.Treasurer: Rochell Pierce (given by Lindsey Cox)
We are currently collecting 2017 dues. It is still only $25 per household, which can be waived if the fee is a hardship. You can pay your dues on our website using Paypal or in person at the monthly membership meeting.
Street Lighting Update: Bulbs have been replaced in all of the streetlights as a results of the streetlight survey conducted by Donnie Kraft and Lindsey. She is currently working with City Council to add street lights to dark locations on 4th (seeking to add 2 on each block), and the 1600 and 1700 blocks of 6th.
Please be aware that Germantown Bar will be opening soon across from The Skillery. The management of this business refused to meet with the Historic Germantown Neighborhood Association.
The meeting was adjourned at 633pm.
