This site was designed by a novice and is a work in progress that will likely evolve into something entirely different as it is developed (hopefully with the aid of experts).  The site can simply serve as an electronic notice board or far more.  For example, a current & up to date neighborhood directory could always be available online.  Even though the page can be password protected,  potential concerns of residents need to be considered before moving forward.  Posting photos may likewise concern some residents.  Have a look at the website and bring your comments and/or concerns to the next Civic Assoc. meeting and/or forward them to cab5@cox.net .
