“THEY’VE ARRIVED!!!”


As you have driven or walked through the neighborhood, you may have noticed something new—The Mesa Blade Signs atop street signs throughout the area. To some this may come as a welcome surprise, to others a long-awaited project completion.

The Blade Sign Committee began its work almost one year ago and now can see a very visible result of its efforts. The Committee designed a logo for The Mesa using the gatehouse on El Portal as the backdrop; the new logo was approved by the Advisory Committee and the City's Neighborhood Involvement Committee.

The Committee identified 18 street signs atop of which we wanted to affix The Mesa blade sign. Each sign costs $80 including installation so at last year’s Annual Meeting residents were asked to Adopt-a-Sign.

   

   
All signs were adopted by Mesa neighbors and here is a list of who adopted which sign:

Camino Descanso & Camino Barranca	-	Francis
Crestview & Overlook	-	John
Mesa & Camino Alturas	-	Gene & Michael
Mesa & Camino Buena Vista	-	Dan & Tom
Mesa & Camino Carmelita	-	Pete & Greg
Mesa & Crestview	-	Meir & Michael
Mesa & El Camino	-	Keith
Mesa & El Portal	-	Tom & Gayle
Mesa & Overlook	-	Gary H. & Rosie
Palm Canyon & Camino Carmelita	-	Bob P.
Palm Canyon & Camino Descanso	-	Bob & Pamela
Palm Canyon & Camino Encanto	-	Joe & Mary
Palm Canyon & Crestview	-	Tom D. & Denny M.
Palm Canyon & El Camino	-	Dennis & David
Palm Canyon & El Portal	-	Patti & Bud
Palm Canyon & Lilliana	-	Rosie
Ridge & Crestview	-	Lee & Sidney
Ridge & El Camino	-	Ron & Joe

Thank you to all those involved in this project. We trust that everyone will enjoy the new signs. We are proud of living in The Mesa and our new blade signs show some of that pride!

THE MESA NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION
THE 3RD ANNUAL MEETING

The 3rd Annual Meeting of The Mesa Neighborhood Organization will be held on Thursday, March 25, 2010, from 6:00 – 8:00 pm at the Moorten Botanical Garden. Clark Moorten has graciously offered his beautiful location for our meeting.

One of the main items on the agenda is a change to the by-laws to open voting at the Annual Meeting to all residents of The Mesa, not just to dues-paying members. Once that change is made at the beginning of the voting process, any resident in attendance will be able to vote on remaining issues which come before the meeting.

There will be two positions available on the Advisory Committee as two members’ terms expire in 2010. Please volunteer to run for one of these open positions. A vote will be taken at the Annual Meeting.

We will discuss our goals for the coming year and how we want to prioritize those goals. For example, a highly visible goal would be to establish a Neighborhood Watch program and install “eye in the sky” signs through the neighborhood. Last year’s Blade Sign was a great, visible success!!!

Mark your calendars and join your neighbors at Moorten’s on March 25th.
