PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE BY HOLLY KIMSEY EVANS

Happy Spring!

As your new Civic Association President, it is my intention to create a community inspired by possibilities and fun. I am standing in the possibility for raising enough funds in 2017 to begin a project for neighborhood signs. The main entrance sign to be placed in the median at Chandworth and four additional street markers at Champaign, Sulkirk, Whistlestop and Riverbend. It is on my agenda to begin researching costs and create a campaign to raise the money. If every neighbor pays the $35 voluntary dues we will not need to campaign! Currently, less than 7% of neighbors donate to the Civic Association. However, moving forward our Treasurer will post the budget reports to the website. Our next newsletter in August will include renderings and costs.

Safety remains a concern of the community and we will do our best to keep everyone abreast with the most recent recommendations from the Char Meck Police Department. Continues on Page 2

Make sure to visit BeverlyWoods.org and join our eNews distribution list. Our community police officers, Beth Jackson &

Mike Smith, with the South Division Community reminds us the #1 recommendation is to LOCK YOUR DOORS! This includes cars parked in your driveways or on the street. The quickest and easiest thing for a criminal to do is drive through the neighborhood while everyone is sleeping and check for unlocked car doors. This continues to be an issue for Beverly Woods and much of South Charlotte.

Thank you for the opportunity to positively serve our community.

With Gratitude,

Holly Kimsey Evans
