9TH ANNUAL MAYOR’S NEIGHBORHOOD CONFERENCE – NOVEMBER 6TH – CAPITOL CITY CLUB

I’ve attached a copy of BONDS flyer announcing the Mayor’s Conference. The flyer includes an agenda detailing the evening’s program. This is where they will announce Grant recipients for 2009-2010 for which CHCA has submitted an application.

I thought we had already won a grant as I had been called to meet with a BONDS representative for the required “first site visit”. I learned during the visit that they haven’t made final decisions yet! Mr. Thomas did tell me that our grant request was the best presented one that he had ever seen! So, thanks so much to those of you that helped me to pull it together on that Friday earlier this year!!! He also explained that he would be representing our request to the BONDS Board and he was happy to do so! He was VERY supportive of our ideas toward marketing our neigborhood and our plans to improve our community through education. You will be surprized to know (LOL!), he complemented me on my enthusiasm toward my neighborhood! — I’m kidding of course, anyone who has spent 2 minutes with me knows I sing our neighborhood’s praises to anyone that will listen!! –

The cost to attend the Mayor’s Neighborhood Conference is $20 per person and yes, that amount is missing from the flyer!

If any of you would like to attend, please get your registration form & payment to me by Tuesday evening, October 27th. I volunteer at BONDS on Wednesday mornings and can reserve a table for those attending. Otherwise, you would want to see that BONDS has your registration and payment by Friday, October 30th as explained on the flyer.

It is a nice evening. Dress is typically business attire, but you’ll see less formal and more formal. The best parts are ….. good food, great company, helpful information, and if all goes will, a check made payable to Capitol Heights Civic Association! (They’ve also has some VERY nice door prizes in the past – I hope they do that again!)
