What Did We Do in 2020?
(beside learning to wear masks and zoom)
|
|
Coming to Your Door in 2021 |
|
Once a year the neighborhood Area Representatives deliver a doorhanger to every door. The doorhanger is a communications update.
- The remittance envelope stapled to the doorhanger offers JPNA membership to the neighborhood and anyone else who would like to contribute.
- It is also the opportunity to make a tax deductible donation to the neighborhood projects for the coming year.
