Board president's messageActive neighbors make SCNA work wellAs announced by Lori Harder, the chair of SCNA's Home & Garden Tour Committee, this year's tour was another phenomenal success. From the outside, this latest in a string of successes may seem automatic. However, like every other SCNA activity, the result is not automatic. Success depends upon the hands-on work of many dedicated volunteers, as well as the work of our support staff led by Executive Director Julie Adams-Gerth. Lori and her committee-Stephanie Backovich, Janice Calpo, Kara Leong-Olkowski, and Christine Rodrigues-plan, coordinate, and accomplish the myriad tasks that go into putting on the Home Tour. This takes lots of time, many meetings, and many errands in addition to supervising the activities on tour day. Those tour day activities depend on the efforts of our docents, many of whom have faithfully volunteered year after year. In addition, they depend on SCNA Board members who staff the ticket booths and information centers. The homeowners who volunteer for the tour, also put in a ton of hard work and endure considerable inconvenience. This year Kathleen Ave and Bill Davies, Ann Mueller and Gordan Goodban, Spencer Lockson and Tom Lange, Jim and Karen Long, Berman and Vivian Obaldia, Christine Fitzpatrick and Don Price, Pati Relvas, and Ann Shook provided and presented a grand assortment of showcase homes for your viewing pleasure. To everyone who contributed to the success of this years tour, on behalf of your neighbors-Thank You! SCNA was founded by volunteers, is led by volunteers, and needs volunteers to keep it going. If you would like to help make SCNA successful, please consider volunteering to help with our activities. Talk to any board member or call our office at Sierra 2 for information. We are always on the lookout for new board members, and helpers for our events. Two specific upcoming needs are volunteer help with coordinating our summer Music in the Park concerts, our fall Wine Tasting & Silent Auction and our First Friday evening event. It takes active neighbors to make a neighborhood association work.
