EACA Leadership for 2009
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For those interested in filling the leadership positions in EACA in 2009, elections will be held in December.  EACA bylaws require that we elect a new President and Vice-President for the coming year.  If you'd like to learn the duties and time commitment for one of these positions, please contact the one of the nominating committee members, either Henry Bryant at 404-377-6148 or Dennis Madsen at 404-577-8656.
 
Being part of EACA's leadership has many benefits, but the most significant is shaping the organization's priorities and gaining access to those who have the ability to positively influence change in East Atlanta.  You also meet a lot of great people, and gain valuable leadership experience.
Meeting Preview
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The monthly EACA meeting is tonight at 7:00 p.m at Branan Towers.  The address is 1200 Glenwood Avenue, across from Village Hardware.
 
We'll be raffling off a couple pairs of tickets to this coming weekend's SAND Tour of Homes, so please be sure to get a free raffle ticket when you arrive.
 
We'll have a variety of speakers this evening.  East Atlanta Business Association President Marc Takacs will be among those on hand to preview what's coming up in October in the EAV.  We'll have a brief presentation about a new dog park for the area as well as a couple of our local school principals on hand to request your support and to provide updates on happenings at our neighborhood elementary and middle schools. 
Public safety will again be on the agenda, as Ed Gilgor will be discussing a couple of issues.  Jennifer Murray will be updating us on the September crime statistics, and APD will be on hand with news of recent criminal activity and arrests.
 
We'll also have some other information this evening regarding area events and development issues, including 525 Moreland Avenue.
 
If you missed last month's EACA meeting, please review September's meeting minutes.
