Featured Event:
Fourth Saturday Palo Verde Neighborhood Walk & Talk
| |
Join us on Saturday 8/26 at 8 a.m. to meet new neighbors, reacquaint yourself with folks you know, and connect with PVNA Board members and volunteers while we give some love to the roadside weeds around Seneca Park. The park is located at 3701 E. Seneca St., at Seneca and Dodge, diagonally across the intersection from Catalina High School.
We will be weed whacking the buffelgrass on the roadside and pulling up or trimming taller weeds. The park is planted with native vegetation which we will not trim or disturb. Trash bags will be provided. If there are lots of us, we'll fan out around the park to pick up trash.
Please bring sun protection, water, gloves, a bucket and a trash grabber if you have one. Bring weeding tools if you’d like to be on weeding duty. We will have several weed whackers but more are welcome. We look forward to seeing you there!

The Palo Verde Neighborhood Association Board has discussed updating our bylaws for several years. We prepared by attending seminars and consulting attorneys, state and local governments and other neighborhoods. We learned what is required of bylaws and what is optimal. The City of Tucson, State of Arizona and the IRS only say we must have bylaws, providing little detail.
First and most important, our bylaws clearly describe the rules and procedures by which we intend to operate. Second, best practice is to keep bylaws simple so that smaller procedural changes do not need approval by the membership. These changes include details like dates, numbers, notifications and administrative procedures. Third, we are adding a new document: A more detailed policies and procedures manual written by the Board in conjunction with our bylaws that will provide flexibility while ensuring clarity about how we operate. The manual can be changed throughout the year and will only require approval by the Board. Feedback on the manual from PVNA membership will always be welcomed.
At PVNA’s Annual Meeting in October, the membership will vote on adopting the new bylaws. We intend to have them approved by the Board and ready for review by the week of September 17, along with the policies and procedures manual.
