News from Our President - Doug McBride
This is a reminder to everyone that the March 20th meeting of the Woodland Heights Organization will be held at Dahl's on Ingersoll cafeteria at 7:00 p.m..
Tim O'Brien will be in attendance to answer questions concerning the City of Des Moines Department of Inspections role in our neighborhood.
Also, we were scheduled to hold elections in March, but due to the meeting being held in Dahl's and the neighborhood notification process needed, we will postpone elections until the April 17th meeting at Callanan Middle School cafeteria. All meetings begin at 7 pm prompt.
**************
I have heard people complain about their neighbors, about the city's role in our neighborhood and about life in general.
We have a tremendous resource being a City of Des Moines NBSD neighborhood. Please use our resources! Call Tim O'Brien at 283-4011, or our local police officer Sergeant Valdez at 283-4966.
ATTEND MEETINGS of the WOODLAND HEIGHTS ORGANIZATION!!! Don't complain if you are not willing to participate in being part of the solution. A handful of residents cannot do everything for a neighborhood of approximately 4,000 neighbors.
Contact me, Doug McBride at 515-279-4399 to volunteer to be on the board of WHO and attend meetings.
Take pride in your neighborhood and yourself by joining with your neighbors to improve Woodland Heights and protect it from peril.
Don't sit quietly in your home, filled with anger about something going on in YOUR neighborhood; attend meetings and be a part of one of the finest neighborhood organizations in the City of Des Moines.
Repepresenting your neiborhood in government and social issues is something to be very proud of. Help shape the future for you and your neighbors!
Your opinion is as important as anyone else's; empower yourself by joining your neighbors at the Woodland Heights Organization meetings held monthly.
These are YOUR meetings, so go and be heard!!! We are having elections at the April meeting. If you or someone you know likes getting involved with issues that directly affect you, then be there and run for a seat on the Woodland Heights Organization board.
It is not hard and is greatly rewarding. We ask all neighbors to attend Woodland Heights meetings every month or at least a few times per year. A meeting lasts between 1 to 1 1/2 hours and is very important to the organization of our neighborhood.
If you attended all meeting in a year, that is only around 16 hours tops. 16 hours out of 365 days is so little to ask for something as important as our neighborhood. You can be an important part of the direction this neighborhood will take over the next few years with as little as 16 hours of your time in a full year.
Why waste an opportunity as precious as this? 16 hours is only equal to 2 business days to help direct an entire neighborhood to greatness. Quit complaining and start attending Woodland Heights Organization meetings.
Be sure to attend the election meeting which will be held on Tuesday, April 17th, at Callanan Middle School cafeteria beginning at 7 pm. BE THERE … It's your neighbor that is at stake, make it a part of your future!
