  • We need volunteers to help with our 16th annual NORTH SHOAL CREEK INDEPENDENCE DAY neighborhood parade and celebration

    Putting together our neighborhood’s parade and celebration takes a lot of work. We need volunteers to help arrange for food and drink, to contact local businesses and ask for their support (which includes asking for prizes and give-aways), to handle red tape like parade permits, and to ser ve as parade judges, all in addition to folks willing to put decorations up before and take them down after the celebration. WILL YOU HELP?

    Please join our small group of dedicated volunteers and help create a super fun and awesome parade and party for our neighborhood. Please call me at 360-790-1774 or email social@nscna.org or briancobbevergreen@gmail.com to join our July 4th Committee!

    Hope to hear from YOU soon!

  • A summary of the results of NSCNA’s recent online survey of neighborhood residents is now available at https://www.nscna.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/NSCNA-2016-Survey-Summary-Web.pdf.

    We owe a very big thank you to Media Committee member Jennifer Noinaj who set up the online survey, compiled the results, and produced the survey summary.

    Sixty-two surveys were completed online, the majority by respondents who were not NSCNA members. Only six paper surveys were received, but that was our fault: we flubbed by leaving a digit off NSCNA’s PO Box number. We sincerely apologize for our mistake. We want your input, so we’re continuing to accept paper surveys. If you mailed one in and are willing to complete the survey again, please email your address to directors@nscna.org. A director will drop off a replacement paper copy at your home, along with a correctly addressed and stamped envelope. Please complete it and mail it in again so your responses will be included in the survey results.

    We apologize for the inconvenience of filling it out twice, but your input is important to us. The goal of the survey is to identify what is important to North Shoal residents. Association officers will use the results to help set association priorities for 2016 and future years.

    The online survey results showed that currently the three most important issues for our residents are neighborhood development, safety and traffic. The comments sections contain many good suggestions for improving our neighborhood as well as increasing membership and participation in Association events and projects.

    Thank you to everyone who participated. The online survey results are already proving to be valuable in helping guide Association officers to understand the needs of our residents. To those who participated via paper mail, we again apologize for our mistake and hope you’ll give the paper survey one more try. Please email directors@nscna.org so we can bring you a replacement copy.
