First Round of Voting – New Neighborhood Name!
On April 1st, the postcard ballot for the first round of voting on our new neighborhood name arrived in many residents’ mailboxes. All neighborhood residents age 16 and over may vote for a new name for our neighborhood. Remember, this vote is for renaming the neighborhood only — NOT the elementary school.
This first round of voting will take us from 12 name options down to 4 finalists. A second round of voting will occur later this spring, which will result in the final name selection.
We are collecting votes (1 per eligible person) from April 1st until May 1st. You may vote in one of three ways: QR code, online survey at https://surveyhero.com/c/pinckney, or fill out the postcard ballot and drop it in a dropbox at 401 Mississippi St., 504 Ohio St., or 427 Michigan St. If you have multiple folks over age 16 in your household, follow the “How to Vote” instructions on the postcard.
Questions? Head to our webpage at http://www.pinckneyneighborhood.org/reconsidering-our-neighborhood-name/ or email us at pinckney.neighborhood@gmail.com.

Important PNA Meeting THIS Saturday, 3/20, at 10am!
Super important Neighborhood Association meeting coming up this Saturday at 10am (via Zoom)!
We will hold a frank discussion about the future of the neighborhood association. We’ll ask residents what they believe the greatest value of a neighborhood association is and how it can better serve residents. We will also explore options for the leadership team of the Neighborhood Association that may make it easier to take on a leadership role. During our February Annual Meeting and election of officers, there were NO volunteers for the positions of President, Vice President, or Secretary. Without a leadership team, continued functioning of the Neighborhood Association will be difficult and we may lose eligibility for grant funding that supports newsletters and other communications regarding neighborhood matters.
Open our March e-newsletter for Zoom meeting link and passcode, plus lots more info: https://mailchi.mp/7206006da7e8/pna-enews-mar2021

Did you miss the PNA annual meeting & elections? Watch it now on YouTube
Did you miss the PNA annual meeting & election last week? You can watch the full meeting on our YouTube channel. Because nobody stepped up to become President, Vice President, or Secretary, the neighborhood association is facing a critical crossroads. Next month’s meeting, on March 20th, we will have a frank discussion about the future of the association: Will someone step up to serve in these important leadership roles, or will the association have to go into “hibernation mode” and forfeit grant funding and helping neighborhood residents? If YOU are willing to serve in a leadership position, please contact us at pinckney.neighborhood@gmail.com.
