The Supper Rock Neighborhood Association membership elects their Board Members every two years; once elected, the Board selects the SRNA Officers. What do Board members do? Here, from a decade ago, is a summary from the outgoing President and Treasurer:

Jack and I will be ending our Board positions of President and Treasurer at the annual meeting in September.  We sincerely appreciate and thank everyone who volunteered with us.

We have done our best to “revive” the organization from an all time low in 2002-2003 of eight members to the current membership for 2004/2005 of seventy-four.  Granted, park issues and the South Pointe Development have been the reason for the recent growth of SRNA.  Carol O’Keefe, Kathleen Schindler-Wright and Theresa DeVargas have also been steadfast Board members through much more than their original two-year terms; Bob Benner also served for many years. Thank you for everything you have done to help run SRNA. 

The Bylaws state that the Board will consist of ten members; seven members from each of the subdivisions (with Los Cerros/Orona combined) and three at large members; terms for the Board are two years and terms for the officers is one year.  In the past few years, the struggle just to keep the Board viable has precluded balancing members from all subdivisions as well as encouraging members to remain on board beyond two-year terms.

Jack and I have both P.O. Box keys for the organization.  The checking account at Compass Bank will require a new signature card and corporate minutes authorizing the change in signatures. I have been given the permanent records for SRNA:  minutes, prior annual reports to the city and to the Public Regulation Commission - Corporate Division of the State, bank statements and receipts.  We would like for all of these items to find a new home.  

We have made and put up signs for five years - too late we often heard - and coordinated snacks at meetings and clean ups for the last five years.  We’ve dealt with realtors’ staff to get the newsletter, cleanup and meeting notices mailed.  We’ve done Agendas for meetings, arranged for candidates to debate, police to come and city council members to attend meetings over the years.  We’ve picked up mail at the P.O. Box, made deposits and paid the bills.  We coordinated with the Police Substation for space for SRNA meeting; when time was short and all the “free” places in the neighborhood were booked, Providence Presbyterian made their meeting room and church available to us on very short notice.  We would like to express our appreciation for this; a meeting place in the neighborhood is vital.  David Strip and Mike Blackledge have been two of the most excellent webmasters a neighborhood association could ever have and we thank them for their time over the years on behalf of SRNA.

We hope that the membership will respond and volunteer their time to serve SRNA in the future.  Board members and officers are needed.

Please watch for upcoming information on the annual meeting in September when the day and time have been arranged; Agenda will be posted on the website; please e-mail your current President with any additions to the annual meeting Agenda you would like to make.
