Hello neighbors, and
welcome to summertime in Astor! This is the season when our neighborhood really
com es
alive—our great parks show their true value to our community,
and our sidewalks remind us why they
were worth shoveling all winter long! I want to take this opportunity to
introduce myself, and my fellow board members—both returning members, as well as
our newest members. My name is
Andrew Higgins, and I was fortunate
enough to be elected the new President
of the ANA Board in April. Erik Hoyer,
our former Board President, left us in great shape, and we sincerely thank him
for his service to our neighborhood. Please feel free to call me with any
questions or concerns at 562-7633. Jennie Schwenk is our
new Vice President, having served on
the board since 2006. Pastor Paul Schleis is our longest tenured member (2000),
and continues to serve as our Treasurer and
Secretary. Board members also include returning members Roxanne Chronert (2001),
Mike Van Handel (2003), Jesse Sharp, Jacqueline Frank, and Jennifer Nehring (all
of whom joined us last fall), and newest members Paul Ebel and Brent and Joanne
Weycker, who joined us in April. Please feel free to reach out to any one of us
to get involved, volunteer at an event, or express an idea or concern. While we
enjoy doing our part, it is your involvement and participation in our
neighborhood events that makes Astor a great place to live! Without your
commitment, none of our neighborhood events would be possible. As always, we are
looking for both new and returning volunteers to step forward and get involved
in upcoming events. We are always looking for volunteers to help with Popcorn in
the Park sales at the City Band concerts Wednesday evenings. Check out the link
listed in this newsletter for more information. We hope to see you around this
summer, whether it’s enjoying a bag of popcorn and some music at St. James Park,
or at the pool or tennis courts at Astor Park!
See you around the neighborhood!
Andrew Higgins
