February 2008 Greetings

Now that the holidays are over and we’ve all had a little time to breathe, its time to start thinking about the spring and summer activities which are
right around the corner. Coming up in February is a Joint Neighborhood Block Club Social, the Caucuses, and SCNA’s Monthly Meetings. March will be having
the Northside Housing Fair and the City Conventions. April SCNA will be having our Annual Meeting along with Board Elections, and Shingle Creek Clean Up. If you’re interested in any of these activities or have some other ideas in mind that you would like towork on that will help connect our community please contact us.Many great projects start with just a simple idea!

SCNA and LBNA are partnering once again and holding a Block Club Social on February 16. Keeping our neighborhood safe is important. Our hope is any one who would like to start a block club, or who already has, will come out so we can share resources and learn from each other about what everyone’s tried or is trying and to see what has worked best in building a strong safe block. We’ll have resources available and will have guests from the Guardian Angles and State Representative Joe Mullery who is the Chair of the Public Safety and Civil Justice Committee at the capitol attending. If you’re getting a little cabin fever, spent all winter in side and have had no chance to see your neighbors or would like to meet new neighbors here’s your first chance for 2008.

Shingle Creek is in the process of hosting many events this year, all of which we need help in planning and organizing some exciting new and old events and activities. We’d love your help! Some events on our list include a Duck Race, Tour de Camden, National Night Out, and the Shingle Creek Clean Up, just to name a few. SCNA and I would like to thank all of the people who helped make 2007 a great year for Shingle Creek. Be watching for one of the biggest accomplishments coming soon!~~ New beautiful blue street signs are being printed and will be hung throughout the neighborhood very soon! Can’t wait!

Remember also February 5 is the Presidential Caucuses, your first chance to deicide who will lead the nation for the next four years. SCNA always has room at the table for new neighbors and new ideas!
See ya soon!
