Civic Association Meeting Monday 25th April 2022

,

The next Civic Association meeting will be held at 7pm, Monday 25th April 2022 via Zoom.

The April online newsletter is available here.

Our main agenda item will be a presentation from Leah Gerber, with Arlington County, on the County’s study of George Mason Drive Multimodal Transportation Study (see the Newsletter for details). Given that this road cuts through our neighborhood between Columbia Pike and Four Mile Run Drive (two critical intersections), I strongly encourage all to attend this meeting and prepare questions and feedback for Ms. Gerber.

Also on the agenda for the meeting will include updates on Douglas Park Movie Night (May 7th), the Axumite Village use permit, our annual July 4th Celebration, stormwater funding, and our advocacy efforts regarding the proposed connection of South Monroe Street and 12th Street South.

If you haven’t attended a Civic Association meeting before, I strongly urge you to attend and meet some of your neighbors! Details on the virtual meeting are below.

New Officers, FY 2022

,

All,

Our annual elections for Civic Association officers occurred at our meeting this past Monday evening. As I noted a few weeks ago, I had decided to not run again for president; today winds up eight years serving in that role. It has been both an honor and challenge to serve these many years, and I thank you all for your trust in me. Our long-time treasurer Al Fox is also stepping down. Thank you, Al, for your years of reliable service.

Effective Monday 1 March 2021, your new officers and board will be:

OFFICERS
President • Eric Berkey
Vice President • Megan Lynch
Secretary • Rick Reed
Treasurer • Andy Price

BOARD MEMBERS AT-LARGE
• Linda Dye
• Adam Henderson
• Annette Pigott
• John Snyder
• Steven Tomaszewski

NEIGHBOR NEWS and douglasparkca.org
Editor • Adam Henderson
Advertising • Sean Steele

The list of officers and email addresses is available at https://www.douglasparkca.org/officers/. Congratulations to Eric and Andy on their new roles!

As you can see, I’ll still be serving on the Board and helping Eric get up to speed; I will also continue to serve as Chair of the Pike Presidents’ Group for the foreseeable future; I can be reached there at chair@pike-ppg.org.

I wish Eric, Andy and all our returning officers the best for the year ahead. I feel confident I am leaving this great neighborhood in competent hands.

Best to all,
Adam Henderson
President, Douglas Park Civic Association, 2013-2021
