Hi, Tom Watkins neighbors! My name is Paula Reeves, and I am the new president of the Tom Watkins Neighborhood Association. We were just starting to reorganize and rebuild the association when the pandemic hit, so we haven’t been able to host events or have meetings. Our day will come, though, and when it does, we hope you’ll want to be involved!
I believe that in a healthy neighborhood, people get to know one another, look out for each other, have fun together, feel safe, and take pride in their surroundings. That’s what a neighborhood association is all about. They strive to make the neighborhood a better place to live. They build relationships with city leaders, along with the police and fire departments, and keep residents aware of potential developments and changes. They give residents opportunities to meet others in the neighborhood by planning informational meetings, along with fun events and activities. All of these cause the neighborhood to become more stable, more safe, and cause the people to feel pride in their homes and their streets.
For right now, I would invite you to “like” the Tom Watkins Neighborhood Association page on Facebook. When we are able, we will plan events, and we will also give you opportunities at that time to officially join the group. We’re even planning to have T-shirts!
Denver Tindell is our association secretary. We are looking for someone willing to be our treasurer. If you’re the one, please let me know!
