April is a great month. There is hope that winter is finally in the rear view mirror, baseball season begins in earnest, bare tree branches bud and flowers start poking out of the ground. All of these are in a bit of jeopardy as I write this, though, as the cold weather is not loosening its grip. It has to stop snowing eventually, right?
For the Naperville Area Homeowners Confederation, April is the one time every year when we invite City Council members to sit at the head table during our monthly meeting. We ask that they openly discuss what is on their minds, answer member questions, and engage in a dialogue without the barriers of the Council dais or council rules. This annual informal get together, based on mutual respect and courtesy, is one of the great things about the relationship between the City and Confederation.
With Easter falling on our normal meeting weekend, we moved this meeting to a weeknight, Mon., April 21, with networking at 6:30PM and the meeting going from 7 until 8:30PM.
The meeting location for this month is changing, too. We will be at the 95th Street Library and our Vice President, Mike Reilly, promises directions and passport validation to any and all Naperville northsiders making the trek into Will County!
April is also when we seek out new voting members for our Board of Directors. Four open seats are up for election this year, and, together with Immediate Past President Dr. Bob Buckman and Vice President Reilly, we are working on putting a slate together for the May annual meeting. If interested in being part of our Board, please reach out to any of the three of us. We will announce the slate at the April meeting.
In the meantime, think Spring!
