Olá (That's Portuguese for Hello) Lisbon Lane

It has been a minute since I have been in the frame to post and with a day off I thought I would finish the last of the streets that had not the distribution of handbills and that was Lisbon Lane.
Other than the usual stirring of dogs and risking waiting up night shift workers, I was going to stay that it would have been an uneventful event but I had a most interesting conversation with Patsy who told me about her website www.hisreturn.org.  (I spared her my memories of reading Bass, Boettcher, Fuller, Hoekema, Fuller, Ladd, Ryrie and Walvoord 30 years ago . . . and I spared asking her about Harold Camping.)  Anyway, it is a website focused on Christ's return. I must compliment Patsy on her religious fervor.

I will thank the Bon Air Board members for taking different streets to divide up the tasks. Our hope is that people will follow our page and the blog to learn what is going on the neighborhood and what the organization is doing.

We hope that you will be come a member.  Our annual dues are $20.00 that helps pay for the organization maintenance costs of a mailbox, website, annual state filing fees and liability insurance for the organization among other incidental operating costs.  If we have 50 dues-paying members we essentially cover the costs.

We advocate for the neighborhood and we seek to improve the neighborhood through reasonable development, a bigger bundle of amenities and beautification.  We want this to be a neighborhood that attracts home buyers. . 

As said elsewhere in this blog, our continued development focus is that of art development. We are primarily focused on building a stage in Farnsley Park, but our other ambitions include an art hall in the Bon Air Library and installations of public art.

We are also interested in hearing from you and what you are interested in. We seek to be responsive to neighborhood concerns and be an effective conduit between the neighborhood and Metro Government.

Our next two events are:
1) Our next board meeting on Monday, September 9 at 6:30 pm in the Bon Air Library and
2) Our Membership Lite meeting on Monday, September 30, 2019 (The 5th Monday) at Buechel Park Baptist Church. (I am excited about that one) Where Brent Ackerson or a representative will have Q and A and a representative from LMPD will also be present to answer questions.
