Amity Gardens Neighborhood Association Annual Meeting and Election – Tuesday, September 8th

Join us for the Amity Gardens Neighborhood Association Annual Meeting and Election at Eastern Hills Baptist Church on Tuesday, September 8th at 7 p.m. (Join us at 6:45 PM to meet the current and incoming board members)

You can access the church via Pierson Drive, just past the Independence Blvd. overpass.

It’s that time of year again for our annual association meeting and elections. This year, the association board is also proposing changes to the bylaws, which need to be approved by the voting members. To conduct our election, we must have a minimum of ten voters present.

A fee of $10 is required per member to ensure active status and voting eligibility. We will hold a brief meeting, lasting no longer than an hour, to facilitate the elections of the board of directors, discuss the bylaw changes, and talk about the function of the board and the current state of the neighborhood, much of which has been outlined in this newsletter.

Proposed Bylaw Changes Include:

Minor clarifications regarding neighborhood boundaries and treasurer responsibilities.

Requiring that association funds be spent only through reimbursements to board members after approved expenditures.

To mitigate liability, association funds will not be permitted for purchasing alcoholic beverages.

Transitioning to two-year terms for elected board members, effective immediately.

Happy Flag Day! 🇺🇸

Flag Day celebrates June 14, 1777, the date when the Continental Congress established the design of our nation’s flag: “Resolved, That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternating red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white on a blue field, symbolizing a new constellation.”

April Yard of the Month!

Oops! We forgot to share this at the beginning of the month.

Congratulations to Jim and Suzanne Guimond for being selected as the April Yard of the Month!

We have lived 5368 Buena Vista Avenue since the 1990s. All the different families that have lived here, the many new families joining our neighborhood has been great to watch. We raised our daughter here and started our own business. We love to be at home working in the yard and garden or helping a neighbor with something. Winter is our favorite season for decorating and lights.

What a great neighborhood to spend a life. What a fun surprise to get Amity Gardens Yard of the Month! So many wonderful people and homes here, what an honor.

To our friends and future friends in Amity Gardens, Thank you.

Jim & Suzanne
