Tremendous! You out-scoop all the local papers, radio, wires with your grass-roots reporting (and limited staff).

Anonymous writes "As a resident of 30 Lake Street (a building that has never been part of any neighborhood/ neighborhood association), I am looking for volunteers to Step Up to create a neighborhood Association within the downtown area.
Our first meeting is scheduled for "late February" at a downtown restaurant or diner location.
Sign up below for our mailing list or further info.
Our goals will be to have a voice in the city and the C.N.A., creating a neighborhood crime watch, creating fun activities and events [co-sponsered by neighborhood restaurants and companies], creating better sidewalks [there are many broken sidewalks around the Lake Street area]; improving our parks, parking issues, creating lecture series with downtown colleges, creating more arts and art events downtown, addressing the county in skirting Megan's Law, housing sex offenders [in any secure site] THEN dropping them off unsupervised within blocks of downtown schools and daycare centers; working on safe, logical solutions to the "White Plains Homeless" population [creating a liason for our City and County government agencies]. Also working with the city and dept. stores to improve our safety in parking lots and parking garages.
***All condo and co-op board members are encouraged to join***
Our rough neighborhood borders will be from [West] The Bronx River Parkway, to [North] Route 119/ Main St. and Lake St., to [East] I-287, and south to Maple Avenue (then to S. Lexington Ave. to Bank Street).
We would very much appreciate help from our neighboring associations: Battle Hill, Fisher Hill, Carhart, The Highlands, and The North Broadway Associations.
In a nutshell this will be about information, quality of life issues, promoting safety, creating fun events, and lobbying our leaders so we too "have a voice".
Soon we will have a website available.
To get on our new mailing list, please contact:
Rob Tamboia 428-4477
30 Lake Street, WP 10603 or
rob@championlife.com SUBJT: Downtown Assoc. thank you for your help!"
