Nominations for SCA Board Members

Request for Nominations for Savage Community Association Board.

The Howard County Council unanimously approved a new measure that requires Savage residents to re paint front doors in seasonal colors. Introduced at the request of the Savage Community Association, the county council approved the measure as a response to community wishes. As there appeared to be no community opposition, the measure was approved. In addition, the measure requires that drive ways be color coordinated with resident vehicles. Color wheels and charts are available at all county offices during business hours.

It’s a joke, folks. Really. Don’t call me at home. Please!

But seriously, the SCA is made of wonderful, dedicated volunteers who are doing our best to keep Savage the wonderful town it is. The county council and the Howard county government listen to the SCA’s concerns. But we need input to do this right. With the best intentions in the world, we’ll get this wrong if we don’t get your opinions and your help..
We are voting for a new board this January. We need 5 officers and 15 board members. Nominations are scheduled for the December 6th meeting. All Savage residents over 16 years of age are eligible to serve. .

So what does a board member do? Listen to neighbors. Meet once a month for an hour at Carroll Baldwin Hall where we have cookies and tea. Discuss community issues. Vote on what we do about issues. Serve on a committee if you feel like it. That’s pretty much it. It takes about 1 to 2 hours a month to help make and keep Savage as quirky, as safe, and as charming as it is today. And without color co-ordinated driveways.
Nominations can be sent to Savagecommunityassociation@blogspot.com, added to the comments here, emailed to sca20763@hotmail.com or can be issued at the meeting on Monday December 6 at Carroll Baldwin Hall .
