Nob Hill Friends and Neighbors, 

Two weeks ago today I emailed you about our association’s annual members’ meeting. A smart neighbor subsequently noted that the night we were aiming for is the same night as the first presidential debate. We know many want to participate in both events. We are postponing our annual members’ meeting 24 hours to Wednesday, September 30 at 6 pm.

Planning for this Zoom meeting is coming along well. One feature will be breakout rooms for our 6 FOCUS AREAS where you can hear about matters of particular interest to you and share your ideas. We will also draw for several shade trees from Rehm’s Nursery to help restore our tree canopy (must be present).

I am again asking your attention to 2 jobs.

MEMBERSHIP. Our association’s “year” runs from September to September. Many members renew membership and pay dues for the coming year at the annual meeting. That will not be possible. So please go to http://www.nobhill-nm.com/about-the-nhna/membership/ today and pay with PayPal or copy the form on the back page of your Fall Nob Hill Newsletter and send it along with your check to our PO Box. Volunteers have delivered 3,000 newsletters. You can also see the Newsletter at  http://www.nobhill-nm.com/about-the-nhna/newsletter/ Many have done this the last two weeks. To you I say THANK YOU!

In order to vote at the annual members’ meeting you need to be a paid member before the meeting and Treasurer Paulette Mastio needs time to get your check from the post office. Email her at paulette.mastio@gmail.com with questions. Each person in the household who wants to vote needs their own membership.

We print 600 extra newsletters so please contact us if you have conduits for getting them out to area businesses.

CONSIDER JOINING OUR BOARD. This meeting is when we elect a board of directors to lead our association’s work for the year. Our bylaws permit up to fifteen directors. Seven directors elected last September will continue until September 2021. So we can elect up to eight new ones. Four neighbors have expressed interest in serving. If you are willing to serve a two year term you can reply to me or to all or nominate from the floor at the annual meeting. This service takes at least 4 hours a month for board meetings and meeting prep plus the work you would do if you join one or more of the committees that do the work in our 6 FOCUS AREAS. If you are willing to serve in this way your dues must be paid before the annual members’ meeting. Our bylaws require that you be a paid member before election.

I will email the Zoom invitation the day before the meeting. Feel free to contact me with any questions or ideas.
