BNA activities for 2021 were certainly a step up from the previous year. Emerging from the covid pandemic, BNA held a handful of meetings, a street cleanup, a neighborhood-wide yard sale, and special Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. In addition, our annual neighborhood cleanup was a great success. It was held in September instead of the usual June, and we hope to return to that early summer schedule in 2022. Many came out and helped, and we extend our thanks to the City and Community Partnership for making the event possible.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Russell Moore who has been our president for the past two years. He stewarded our organization through the difficult pandemic, a time during which many small organizations shut down. Russell was central in helping BNA get back to a more normal level of activity. He provided leadership and performed the many sometimes-thankless behind-the-scenes tasks to make this possible. As a result of his efforts, we look toward 2022 with optimism and new vigor.
