Our new board officers are:
Bobbi Ream – President
Felisity Cordell – Vice President/Secretary
Donna Clarkson – Treasurer.
We did a great many things in spite of the necessary restrictions this past year. Our really big event for the year was the neighborhood cleanup. It was different, but under the circumstances, it was successful. Thanks to all.
We held our annual back-to-school social with the Cowden Elementary School student body, whichCulver’s made possible. Because we are accustomed to meeting outside in the summer, we were able to continue with our regular meetings. MPNA is going to donate $25 monthly to Cowden to support their food bank and/or needs of the students, which Dr. Norman says is a welcome donation.
Our annual garage sale made the second weekend in June the most popular time of the year. Everyone was glad to be outside. We had more than 60 sales in the Thursday-Sunday time frame. This was only our second year. Consensus: “Let’s do this again.”
We are going to resume our Neighbors Helping Neighbors program – maybe taking on one or two events every five or six weeks throughout the year.
