Last Night's Monthly Meeting

Hi All, we had a great meeting last night and a really great turn out. It was so good to see so many familiar faces and even a new neighbor in the mix. We covered all our usual business and concerns of the neighborhood. We shared success stories in our neighborhoods and ways of managing parking situations that could be helpful to others.

There was a recap on Town & Gown and the Mayor's Roundtable as well as discussion concerning the need to do something legislatively to have the State plan expansion of the various universities better and consider the impact on the towns and neighborhoods.

There was discussion about our new blog, its purpose and goals for our neighborhood. A volunteer committee is forming to create a brochure of our neighborhoods for realtors, businesses, and others to present ourselves as a cohesive, diverse neighborhood with much to offer. If you're interested in helping with this brochure, contact Debbie Campbell at (410) 860-0893.

If you have any suggestions for improvements or additions to this blog, send your requests to: CamdenCNA@yahoo.com
