<DIV><SPAN class=517522002-23032009><FONT face=Arial size=2>We had a great
turnout for our meeting last week, though it was disappointing to see everyone
leaving as the other speakers were getting ready to inform us!

<DIV><SPAN class=517522002-23032009><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Planning
Department has extended the deadline for community surveys until April 30,
2009. If you haven't done so already, please visit <A
href="http://www.planmv.com">www.planmv.com</A> to fill out a survey and be a
part of the Comprehensive Plan process. A number of issues were addressed
at this meeting, and Mr. Williams suggested we plan a "Field Walk" with the
commissioners of city hall, so that they can really see what we are talking
about (Foreclosed Homes in Disrepair, dangerous intersections, broken sidewalks,
the parking garage, etc.)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

many deals and discounts, and will donate $25.00 to the Fleetwood Neighborhood

<DIV><SPAN class=517522002-23032009><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have received
notification that the State of the City Address will take place on
Wednesday, March 25, at 7:00 p.m. at City Council Chambers. I
hope a number of you can make it there! I can't make it, so if anyone
attends, will you email me notes/highlights so I can help spread the word?
Thanks!!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Scrapbookers! I have found about 10 years worth of memorabilia for the FNA - I
would love to have it in a scrapbook and bring it to our events...but alas
- my crafting skills are nil! Anyone interested in taking on the
project? Supplies will be paid for by the FNA! I know you're out there, closet
Martha Stewarts!!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
