• What technology and skills are available for pre-hospital care
• The difference between Basic Life support and Advanced Life Support
• How hospital choices are made when transporting patients
• Your patient rights
• Your chance to ask questions and get answers

From neighborhood police officer Mike Hanson:

Greetings Safety Walkers!
For those of you who could not attend this week’s meeting, below is a re-cap of some of the information we discussed. We have decided to do a few things differently for our 2009 Safety Walks and below are a list of some changes:

Below you will find our schedule for each Safety Walk this summer, so you can make plans in advance to join us, or catch us on the next walk.

We will bring our MPD traffic safety vests to wear during the walk to help show presence again.

I will be issuing $298 citations to the chronically dirty yards that leave their rubbish all over; so please do not plan on picking up trash (unless you want to enhance the beauty).

I will make every effort to attend the scheduled walks and in my absence Lt. Patterson will inform patrol officers of the walk for the night.

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to help in the neighborhood. In both neighborhoods, the kids ask daily on when the walks will begin! For the time that we walk, the n’hood seems to calm down.

Stay safe.
Mike Hanson

From association president Nicky Morris:

We have quite a few PHNA board officers leaving this year, including myself. The vacancies will be President, Vice President and Secretary. An election for these positions will take place this summer and you can read about the candidates in our June newsletter. If you are interested in running for one of these positions, submit a short statement, by the end of May, stating why residents should vote for you. We will put it in the newsletter and online. I hope some of you seriously consider these positions. Having a strong neighborhood assocation is vital to having a strong neighborhood. I will still be around, but have decided to be the neighborhood watch coordinator, so that I can focus my energies on just the crime issues.

Here’s a description of the positions, per our by-laws:

President:
a. The President shall preside at all meetings of the Board and General Membership.
b. The President, or his or her designee, shall represent the Association in all matters of
general interest to its members.
c. The President shall supervise the general activities of the organization.
d. The President shall appoint, with the Board of Director’s approval, all Committee
Chairpersons and Advisory Positions.
e. The President shall designate any adhoc committees as appropriate.
f. The President shall make interim appointments to fill any vacancies that develop on the
Board during the year, subject to the approval of the Board.
g. The President shall prepare the agenda for Board meetings.
h. The President shall be the primary spokesperson for the Association unless otherwise
designated.
i. The President shall disburse funds in the absence of the Treasurer.
j. The President shall be responsible for ensuring the revision, update, and maintenance of the
Newsletter.

Vice President:

a. The Vice-President shall perform all duties of the President in the absence of that officer.
b. The Vice-President shall perform other duties as assigned by the President.
c. The Vice-President will keep an accurate calendar list of events and what communications
and sign-ups need to be performed for Association activities, when sign-ups are due, and
who receives the particular communications from the city or other organizations.

Secretary:

a. The Secretary shall record the minutes for all Board and General Membership meetings and
shall submit a copy for approval at the next meeting of the Board.
b. The Secretary shall keep an historical archive of the Association and provide it to others as
necessary.
c. The Secretary shall prepare correspondence for the Association as requested by the
President.
d. The Secretary shall maintain a list of all Board Members, Advisory Positions, and
Committee Chairpersons.
f. The Secretary shall perform other duties as requested by the President.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Nicky Morris
