Dear OCNA'ers. March meeting is tonight. 6:30pm.

OCNA'ers-
Our next monthly meeting is this Monday February 6 from 6:30 to 8:00 PM at DeFremery House at 1651 Adeline Street. This meeting is very important. We will scope out our goals for 2017 and begin the process of nominating members for Board and Officer positions.
OCNA needs your support more than ever. The very existence of our organization depends on increasing membership and participation. Else, OCNA will not be equipped to serve the needs of the community. With two recent resignations, we now only have 4 Board members. Our By-Laws specify a minimum of 5 Board members and a maximum of 13 Board members. We also have two vacancies in our Officer leadership. The positions of Vice-Chair and Corresponding Secretary are open. We cannot be an effective organization unless two critical occurrences happen: 1) Several existing members must be nominated from the ranks and elected to serve on the Board and fill leadership roles on Committees, and 2) We must nominate and elect a new Vice-Chair and Corresponding Secretary.
Please tell your friends and neighbors about OCNA and invite them to join us this month. Please also bring your ideas for nominations to our meeting. You can ask a fellow member (or me) to nominate you. We look forward to seeing you all on Monday!
We also look forward to working with you to beef up our organization for the times ahead,
Think globally and act locally" is more important now than ever!
Sincerely,
Michael Taffet,
Chair Oak Center Neighborhood Association
