We Need Your Help!

The Boulevard Lane Community Association is IN DESPERATE NEED OF VOLUNTEERS. Please do your part to help keep our association operating for the benefit of our entire neighborhood. The work handled by BLCA volunteers benefits everyone that lives in Boulevard Lane, and also those that visit. If no NEW / FORMER volunteers step up to help soon, the current Board (or what is left of the Board as Board Members step down) will need to begin some sort of process of dismantling operations. We face an unfortunate reality that many neighborhood favorites may no longer occur due to lack of volunteers—events such as the annual Easter Egg Hunt, the National Night Out BBQ, Dumpster Day (subsidized dumpster conveniently located IN our neighborhood for a day), Bark Day (subsidized bark delivery), and more. We welcome all thoughts, suggestions, creative ideas, and VOLUNTEER EFFORT. Please contact the Board for more information.



OPEN POSITIONS:

VP OF MEMBERSHIP: Organizes the annual membership drive for the BLCA. Work will begin in January 2017 for the next membership drive.

VP OF COMMUNICATIONS: This position is currently being developed (official title may change) and will be created to handle communication tasks for the BLCA such as publication of the Crier, Constant Contact, website updates, Facebook posts, etc.

TREASURER: **URGENT NEED** Must be good with numbers and have basic accounting and spreadsheet skills.

If you live in Boulevard Lane and you are willing to volunteer your time for the benefit of OUR COMMUNITY— please contact the BLCA Board for more information.

Message From Our President

To our neighbors in Boulevard Lane: The Boulevard Lane Community Association needs your help. At this time we currently have an open position on the BLCA Board—the VP of Programs position. And, at the conclusion of the general meeting on March 31, I will no longer be President and this position will need to be filled. At the completion of the 2016-2017 term, Paige Booth will be stepping down as Treasurer. As you can see, the vitality of the board is at a critical juncture. WE NEED YOUR HELP. These are some of the things that the Members of the BLCA Board do for the benefit of OUR community:

Annual Membership Drive


WEBSITE: BoulevardLane.org


BLOG: ourboulevardlane.blogspot.org


Arrange for maintenance of the entrance


Inspection & maintenance of entry signs


Inspection & maintenance of plum trees


Boulevard Lane Crier newsletter


Annual Easter Egg Hunt


Bark Day (every other year)


Annual Garage Sale (first wknd in June, every year)


Dumpster Day (every other year)


National Night Out (every year)


Holiday Light Walk (every year)

As the number of Board Members gets smaller, the amount of responsibility, work, and effort on the remaining Board Members gets larger. As a result, some of the activities may not happen as frequently...and eventually, some may not happen at all.

If you have been able to attend National Night Out in the past, you have what it takes to serve on the Board.


If you have posted on the Boulevard Lane Facebook page, you have what it takes to serve on the Board.


If you have attended the Easter Egg Hunt, you have what it takes to serve on the Board.


If you have participated in the Garage Sale, had bark delivered, used the dumpster, visited the website, had a cup of holiday cheer during the Holiday Light Walk, you have what it takes to serve on the Board.

If you feel more comfortable volunteering for a position on the Board that is not "open," let us know. I bet that room can be made. Contact any Board Member and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have about serving on the BLCA Board.

As it states in the name, the Boulevard Lane Community Association is a community association, and the Board needs help from its community. The Board appreciates those that have volunteered, and/or continue to volunteer to help make our community a better place.

Rob North, President
