President's Message by John Scheer 

Here we are in 2010: Have you gotten use to writing that new number? It may have seemed like any other New Year, but it was a change in decade. And what about that blue moon on New Year’s Eve?

The beginning of a new year is also the time to renew your EVA membership. Renewing your membership or signing up as a new member is one of the best ways to get involved in your community and to make a difference. The more neighbors who get involved and participate in the decisions that form the future of our neighborhood, the better the planning and improvements for all of us. Please take a moment and sign-up via the EVA website by using PayPal. or bring your renewal to the Feb. 1 membership meeting.


The meeting has scheduled 32nd Ward Ald. Scott Waguespack as the guest speaker. The alderman will provide an update on the state of the ward as well as respond to questions from the audience. If you have a specific topic of interest, please add your question to this post prior to the meeting.

Some topics that the alderman is expected to respond to include: timeline for blue cart distribution, development and zoning changes on Damen and Chicago avenues, progress with the master plan and development stimulation, and status of demolitions.

If you have taken the time to renew your EVA membership for 2010, I thank you. If you are still pending, please renew soon so that you can retain your voting privileges. And if you prefer to remain a non-member, you are welcome and encouraged to still attend the EVA monthly meetings. Your support will be put to good use.
