hearty neighborhood participation in this past Saturday`s North Capitol Main Street 2012 annual meeting

North Capitol Main Street held its 2012 Annual Meeting -- its "Vision Sharing" session -- on Saturday, March 31, 2012 from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon at St. Martin`s Catholic Church at T & North Capitol Street NW.

NCMS President Patricia Mitchell opened up the visioning session with an introduction of the board members and Camille Nixon of the DC Department of Small and Local Business Development. Pat then briefly reviewed the NCMS accomplishments for the past twelve months.

Three brief presentations followed by three projects chairs. Roxanne Wallace, head of the Storefront Improvement Program (SIP) project, spoke about the prior SIP program successes, how the SIP program works and issued a call for volunteers. Scott Roberts described the social & print media project, which includes maintaining the www.ncmsinc.org website. Sara Kaufman spoke on fellow NCMS board member Geovani Bonilla`s promotion and marketing project, "Center of the City".

The presentations then progressed into three break-out sessions by project. The break-out discussions garnered input from eager volunteers to advance each project`s goals.

Follow-up meetings for each project will be organized in order to continue with the spirited enthusiasm from the attendees.

North Capitol Main Street will continue to reach out to residents by offering volunteer opportunities to serve your community!

Thank you from North Capitol Main Street!

See this message from Pat Mitchell, President, North Capitol Main Street:

On behalf of the Board of Directors and all the wonderful volunteers of NCMS, Thank You for the tremendous turn-out at the 3rd Annual 2011 NCMS Art+Music Walk.

Each year, we learn something new about ourselves, about the event itself, about you as residents, about our businesses and about this great community of neighborhoods -- Bloomingdale, Eckington and Truxton Circle in Shaw. And this year is no exception.

I believe it's fair to say this year, we had the biggest turn-out ever. (at least in one place at one time) And we could not have done any of this without the support of Department of Small and Local Business Development, Pinkline Project and Rustik Tavern, and the participation of all the businesses in the North Capitol Main Street service area.

It goes without saying, the work of North Capitol Main Street is a labor of love (or at least self-interest) because all of its volunteers and board members -- Tom, Scott, Roxanne, Juli, Geovani, Sara, Diton, and Nathaniel -- are residents and business owners in the community. And so nothing is more gratifying than to see this community come together in such a positive and fun way. Were it not for the rain, I believe we'd still be partying on T Street.

And speaking of T Street NW -- a very special thank you goes out to the generous and gracious Residents of T Street NW for allowing the closure of your street for this event. We (the community) owe you a debt of gratitude. Finally, the members of the Clean Team, who altered their schedules to make sure the neighborhood was left clean, really do rock!! These guys do a tremendous job of keeping the trash off the streets and garbage removed, so please be sure to show them your appreciation whenever the spirit hits you. Thank you all.

Sincerely,
Pat Mitchell

See this welcome message from North Capitol Main Street:

FUNDING APPROVED FOR CLEAN AND SAFE PROGRAM THROUGH 2011

North Capitol Main Street is pleased to announce approval of its grant proposal submitted to the DC Department of Small & Local Business Development for continued funding to support the highly popular NCMS Litter Cleanup Assistance Program --through the 2011 fiscal year. In addition to keeping our streets clean - all those beautiful corner pots and hanging planters are the work of the Clean Team and further improvements are in the pipeline for 2011.

Residents, NCMS businesses and business patrons are all pleased with the results achieved by the Clean & Safe team. Catania Bakery owner, Nicole Tramonte, commented that the difference in the streetscape in front of her business is remarkable - "It's never been so clean! Friday and Saturday night were just disasters!!" She said because of the high pedestrian traffic on her block, the trash was so high in the past she couldn't keep up with it alone. She is thrilled with the service.

Tell us how you like the work of the Clean Team and what we could do better. Share your thoughts at www.ncmsinc.org .
