SPECIAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING,
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 3:00-5:00 pm at the SHCA.
The Sunset Hill Community Association Board of Trustees is
asking all of our members to help determine the future of
SHCA.
Our revenue is decreasing, our expenses are increasing, and
we don't have enough actively involved members to accomplish
all the tasks associated with running SHCA.
We need to hear your opinion whether the Association still
has a role to play in the community. At this general
meeting, we can openly address the state of the Association
and what we can do to achieve sustainability.
Our questions to you: Can this organization survive as a
viable business? Should we change our model of operation,
make hard decisions regarding the future of the facility,
and perhaps close or sell the clubhouse?
Formed in 1922, SHCA is one of Seattle's oldest
neighborhood associations and has played a key role over the
years in shaping Sunset Hill and Ballard.
We work
directly with public officials on issues that affect our
neighborhood and the city, including public transit, local
development and quality-of-life issues.
Popular SHCA events include the annual Candidates' Forum,
where we talk with candidates for City, State, County,
School District and Port offices; our annual wine-tasting;
backyard wildlife presentations; Northwest gardening
lectures; hosted land-use discussions; and the Old House
lecture series, hosted by the Ballard
Historical Society.
Membership
is open to anyone who is interested in our neighborhood.
To be a voting member, you must reside in the area between
NW Market Street and NW 85th
Street, from Puget Sound to 24th Avenue NW. The volunteer
board of trustees is made up of voting members elected
annually by the membership.
Built in 1929, SHCA's
classic, restored, two-story Arts & Crafts clubhouse is
available for rental at reasonable rates for community
events, meetings, workshops, parties, receptions, weddings
and anniversary celebrations. |
