New SBNA Secretary/Blog Administrator

Many thanks to Aubrey Ash, who agreed to fill the vacated position of SBNA Secretary and to administer this blog.  In keeping with our neighborhood bi-laws, if anyone else wishes to nominate themselves, we will have a special election of the secretary position at our SBNA annual picnic in August, rather than wait until our annual meeting next spring.

If you have any news, event, or services to be be posted on this blog that directly affects our neighborhood, please reach shepardna@gmail.com  Also, if you have a new neighbor or would like to make sure you are on our SBNA email list, Aubrey will have possession of our master list, so please contact her to update new email addresses.

It's been my pleasure to serve our neighborhood and this blog, which is a good tool for keeping us all informed on the going-ons in our small part of Columbia.

Respectfully,
Beth Cunningham

Annual Meeting Minutes Posted and Secretary and Blog administrator Needed

SBNA Neighborhood Association held its annual meeting on March 9, 2016. Meeting minutes are posted on this blog by clicking the Meeting Minutes tab on the right-hand side of this page.

URGENT!!! We are needing a neighbor to fill in the vacant position(s) of SBNA secretary and/or blog administrator (of this blog) which has been vacated by Beth Cunningham, who volunteered for the position during the past three years. No members at the meeting volunteered to take Beth's place, so we are reaching out to all of our neighbors who were not present to consider taking on these tasks. A motion was made to consider splitting the duties into two positions, one which is secretary, taking meeting minutes and notifying neighbors (via email) when we have our annual meeting, special meetings (seldom), annual garage sale and picnic.  The other position Beth had been doing was administering this blog (via Google blogger) which greatly helps our neighborhood communication with each other.  If you are willing to take on one or both of these positions, please contact Beth Cunningham for details on how we can transition to the next officer(s).

To keep our neighborhood association vibrant and effective, we need neighbors willing to serve. Please consider volunteering for this vacant position(s).
