January is both a time of new starts and a time of renewals, and in that light, I am sending out a request to everyone to either join or rejoin the District 9 Neighborhood Alliance. Our membership year corresponds to the calendar year, so I am attaching a welcome letter as well as an application, and hope to see all of you at our meetings this coming year…
The first District 9 Neighborhood Alliance meeting of 2014 (7:00PM, January 22nd) will be held at the Stone Oak Methodist Hospital, (Classroom #1), 1139 E. Sonterra Blvd. (just off Hwy 281 in Stone Oak). This month I have asked State Representative Lyle Larson to provide us with his general impressions of the 83rd Legislative Session and his views on the water issues facing the state and our region. Lyle has made himself an expert on water issues so it should be a very informative evening. A copy of the agenda as well as a copy of the minutes of our last meeting in October 2013 are attached (they are combined into one document to save paper).
Directions:
If you are coming north on Hwy 281, go under Loop 1604 and immediately take the Sonterra Blvd. exit to the right; cross over to the right and follow the signs to Sonterra Blvd.; at the top of the hill take a right on to Sonterra Blvd., proceed through the first traffic light, at the next flashing yellow traffic light you will see the hospital on your right.
If you are coming around Loop 1604 westbound, take the Stone Oak Parkway exit, go north on Stone Oak Parkway and turn right on Sonterra Blvd.; proceed east on Sonterra through the traffic light at Hardy Oak and you will see the hospital on your left. Park as close to the main entrance as possible, go through the main entrance and the classrooms are to your left. We will be in Classroom #1.
