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.
 
Public safety will be one focus of tonight's agenda, as we'll be talking about some of the areas where we as a community need to focus in order to reduce crime in our area.  Jennifer Murray will be updating us on the October crime statistics, and APD will be on hand with news of recent criminal activity and arrests.
 
We'll also be talking about some of the past year's successes in our community, and some of the upcoming year's challenges.  If you've thought about participating more in EACA or NPU-W, tonight is a good time to find out how you can make a difference.
 
Also tonight, Andrew Walter will have a presentation on 475 Moreland Avenue, and we'll be asking for your input on an important school issue that impacts East Atlanta families.
 
If you missed last month's EACA meeting, please review October's meeting minutes.
