As the seasons shift and the first signs of spring unfold, North Avondale, too, is in a season of transformation. March is not just a month of renewal—it is a time of action, of laying the groundwork for the future we envision together. With each meeting, event, and initiative, we are shaping the next chapter of our beloved neighborhood, ensuring that our community thrives not just for today, but for generations to come.
This month, we are rolling up our sleeves and diving into exciting projects that will leave a lasting impact. Our Beautification Initiative is in full bloom, and with the return of Green Up Day on April 26, we are calling on volunteers to help revitalize our shared spaces. Whether it’s enhancing our green spaces or ensuring our historic district is properly designated and celebrated, our commitment to preservation and progress is stronger than ever.
We are also deep in planning for our Annual Meeting on May 18, where we will reflect on our journey, set new goals, and continue to build momentum. A vital discussion on the Connected Communities Initiative and the direction of our Master Plan will shape our advocacy efforts and neighborhood priorities. These discussions ensure that our voices are heard and that North Avondale remains a beacon of community-driven growth.
Meanwhile, our upcoming General Body Meeting will feature a guest speaker from the Urban League, emphasizing the importance of community partnerships and empowerment. We are also advancing critical decisions on funding allocations, website updates, and necessary improvements to our neighborhood resources.
This is a time to be engaged, to be present, and to take pride in the work we are doing together. Our neighborhood is a reflection of our collective efforts, and every contribution—big or small—moves us forward.
I encourage you to get involved, stay informed, and take part in the exciting initiatives ahead. Whether it’s lending a hand on Green Up Day, attending a community meeting, or simply sharing ideas, your voice and participation are what make North Avondale a truly special place.
Here’s to a season of progress, unity, and continued success!
With gratitude and enthusiasm,
Dawn Johnson
President, North Avondale Neighborhood Association
