And finally, what do you hope for the future of the Montavilla neighborhood association?
I hope that the Montavilla Neighborhood Association continues to grow and that there will be more participation by our neighbors at our meetings and in neighborhood activities, like the neighborhood clean-up. I hope we continue to engage and work towards improving our neighborhood in all the different areas including public safety, education, parks, transportation, and land-use.
