FYI:
I spoke to Robert Miller and Robert Cooper, of NRP's Citizen
Participation office, and was told that CNIA's funds were once again
being frozen (or already had been as of last Friday?), due in part to
ongoing inconsistencies and the latest claim by the current CNIA board
that $110,000 of funds had gone missing.
This is very upsetting to me to see our neighborhood organization
continue to go down the crapper because of poor judgment and leadership
by various current board members and staff (A side note: I believe that
the people involved have good intentions for the most part but are very
misguided in their thinking and actions).
I know that this is not new news, but I would be interested to hear from
those of you who have weathered similar challenges in your respective
neighborhoods and how you were able to overcome them. I don't want to
see Central Neighborhood and its residents continue to suffer while a
few misguided individuals take the rest of us down a very bad road.
I know that we can make it through this challenge but I feel that we
really need the support of our other neighbors and neighborhoods to make
it out in one piece. We have our annual meeting coming up on May 22nd
and there are a number of issues to be brought up. any ideas on how to
bring them up in a positive and constructive way. Is there anyone out
there who would be willing to observe our meeting and/or act as a
friendly, volunteer mediator of sorts? We can use all the help we can get.
Thank you in advance for your ideas and support. Let's hope that we
will not have to repay it in the same way further down the road.
Respectfully,
Matthew Dufresne
Central
