| Since 1941, one of the main goals of the Sauganash Park
Community Association (SPCA) is to promote social interests...
Do you have any... (let us know!) |
| Block Party Information? |
| Garage Sale Coordination? |
| Social Groups (tennis, bridge club, book club, etc) you would like to spearhead? |
| Why be a member of the SPCA? |
| - The SPCA is the voice of our community. Any issues
that are brought to our attention are discussed in detail at bi-monthly
board meetings, and then brought to the attention of the appropriate
community member(s). The more dues paying members there are of the
SPCA, the stronger and more unified our voice is in the eyes of local
politicians and community leaders. In other words, your civic
requests that we present to local politicians are taken more seriously if
we represent more families. - We need your contribution to pay for our services rendered to the community - including: * Snowplowing in the winter after 4" of snow. * This website to help keep you informed * 4th of July parade and picnic at Sauganash Park * Annual Halloween Party at Sauganash Park * Annual holiday house decoration prizes during the Christmas season * Welcome Wagon folders * more |
| How and when can I get involved? |
| - Immediately! - Please consider becoming a block captain (link), attend a board meeting, help organize a block party, let us know when someone new moves into the neighborhood so they can be properly welcomed, help lead a community activity, sponsor a club in the neighborhood that others might be interested in (bridge club, poker club, tennis club, etc)... The opportunities are endless. Please let us know. Email SPCA President David Hjelmgren at: davepro14@gmail.com |
| What current issues are currently facing our neighborhood? |
| - Private Snowplowing - funded by SPCA dues.
Favored by members present at general meeting - Speedbumps - Not wanted by most members present at general meeting, although a vocal minority did exist. - Zoning: Chicago Public Schools - Did you know that Sauganash Park was split between Sauganash and Solomon elementary schools?  RESOLVED!
