​SNNA Meeting October 19, 2015

Agenda

Treasurer’s Report: The large available balance is ear-marked for the Halloween Block Party. $15.41 shy of our 
goal. Please remember to donate candy to SNNA for the trick-or-treaters at the HBP. Oktoberfest pretzel and 
water sales totaled $215, a big Thank You to  everyone who chipped in and volunteered at the tent.

Membership: 57 homes. 4 new homes signed up for 2016.

Social: Zombie Flamingo was a great success and will become a yearly event for Fall Kick-off. 

Clean-up day debrief: We totaled 18 volunteers, which was a better-than-expected turnout. The clean-up only 
took 2 hours due to the number of volunteers. Beds were weeded, crepe myrtles were trimmed, and debris 
was removed from the sidewalk-road area. 
Plans to repair/replace the Block Grant Signs, and other maintenance projects: Lindsey has fronted the $250 
to have the sign repaired, so that it will be fixed before the HBP. We need a long-term plan to maintain these 
signs, and would like the HPB to act as a fund-raiser for projects like this.
Paul notes that a Spring Event may be useful as a future fundraising option. This may be an option if there is 
an available weekend in Nashville, we’ll get with Jack on this.

Halloween Block Party: Event flyers are being distributed (includes 312 coupon), and large posters are 
available for shop windows etc. Event is on Oct 31, JD Events is assisting in the production – Jack brought the 
liquor sponsors and food trucks and has removed a lot of the stress from the social committee. We did pay 
Jack $1500 as a flat organization fee. We are set for a profit split with JD Events. Please plan to spend time 
(and money) at the event to support SNNA. The road closure notices have been distributed to all affected 
neighbors. Clean up should be done before midnight. We have live music and a DJ for the late night set. There 
will be trick-or-treating 6-9; we need about 600 pieces of candy per house. Costume contests will include kids, 
adults, and pets. The pet contest will benefit Crossroads. Volunteers have been notified of their time-slots and 
locations, but we still need more volunteers. We do have full event security – a total of 4 officers will be 
present. Check the website as updates will become available over the next 10 days. 

Board Elections: Board elections will begin in November. Elections are open and anyone can run for any 
position. Nominations will occur at the November meeting. Lindsey plans on running for Pres, Rochell may run 
for Treasurer, Mindy has expressed interest in Secretary, and Nick has some interest for VP. We would like to 
have non-board individuals to act as Committee Chairs. We would like to add at least one new committee – 
Philanthropy. Membership needs an active Committee Chair. Lindsey would like to have a formal Strategic 
Planning Meeting in January.

There has been a motion to reimburse Lindsey and Joe for the sign restoration cost. Motion seconded and 
unanimously approved.

At the Neighborhood Resource Center’s Neighborhood Showcase. Rochell presented SNNA for the HBP, and 
we came in second and won a cash prize of $250. Lindsey has been asked to join the board of the Nashville 
Neighborhood Alliance. 

Lindsey would like to make the Urban Canopy designation a priority for the new year. 

The old K&M market has been boarded up for a few days and we are not aware of the reason.

Update from the Women’s Mission: They are closing on the old BP on Tuesday. The Mission is unsure of their 
plans for the property, but will certainly bring it to SNNA as the decision process progresses. It may become a 
small shop where the women can work and receive job experience and a sense of productivity. The old health 
clinic and the gas station will be removed over the next several weeks.

Quick shout-out to Morgan Park – they are having their Trunk-or-Treat on October 30th. They are asking for 
candy donations, and volunteers. 

Jo Miller and husband and kids are going on a mission trip to Haiti. They are looking for donations of snacks for 
the school children they will be working with. Non-chocolate non-candy items – nuts, dried fruit, granola brs, 
and the like.
