  • Letter from Allandale NA

    Administrator

    The NSCNA Board of Directors has received a letter from Tom Linehan who is the current president of the Allandale Neighborhood Association (ANA). He asks if our group would make a financial contribution to their legal fund. Tom and another ANA Executive committee member attended our last Board meeting to discuss their request. They are looking for support from the surrounding neighborhood associations including ours.

    You can view the letter here.

    The NSCNA Board agreed that the general membership should be responsible for providing the NSCNA response. A special general membership meeting will be scheduled soon. Additional details about the meeting’s agenda and logistics will be posted as soon as the information is available.

  • Commanders Forum notes from August 14th, 2007

    Administrator

    The 3rd quarterly Commanders Forum was held on Tuesday, August 14th, 2007 at Austin Revival Center, 305 Deen Avenue at 7:00pm. Attending from North Shoal Creek Neighborhood Assn was Mary Arnett, Jo McFerren, and Margaret Flaniken. First on the agenda was District Rep Mike Young who gave an update on the Slayton Dr house which had been the target of an intensive effort to clean up the property and make it safe for children walking to Barrington Elementary. There had been numerous issues with the ownership of the property. A resolution of the issue was achieved when several of the persons who had a joint interest in the property were arrested on various drug or other charges and an investor from the community stepped forward to buy out their interests and the remaining owners interest in the property. The house is now boarded up and safe for the neighborhood.
