Dear Venable Neighborhood Neighbors:I hope you can join us next week for our first meeting of 2025 on Wednesday, March 19th at 5:30pm in the lower level conference room at the Gordon Avenue Library. We will be joined by the new director of Charlottesville's Neighborhood Development Services office, Kellie Brown. She will also be joined by the city's new manager of Long Range Planning, Ose Akinlotan. They will be reviewing their office's workplan moving forward as well as answer questions about the new zoning ordinance that has been in effect for a year. We will also discuss planning for our April 19th event at Trailblazer Elementary School and conduct our first round of board member elections for this year. We have one candidate (Fritz Knabe, bio below) who has been nominated as an addition to the board at the meeting next week. A second round will take place at the April meeting when we will present a couple of additional candidates and also elect officers for the next year. As we have a number of vacancies on the board due to recent retirements and two board members moving out of the neighborhood, we have a number of openings if anyone is interested or knows someone who might be interested.
