Notes:
1) Vote #1: By way of background, to the best of our knowledge, although Neighborhood Watch meetings have taken place more recently, the last formal meeting of the Rock Creek (Forest) Citizen’s Association (RCFCA) took place on December 7, 2006 (See, http://rockcreekforest.webresident.net/association/rockcreekforest//RCFCA.HTML), The Constitution and Bylaws of the Rock Creek (Forest) Citizens Association were last updated on March 28, 1984 and are in need of revision, yet they are registered with the County, delineate the Association’s geographic boundaries, and provide a framework for conducting meetings (e.g., in accordance with Robert’s Rules of Order – Revised, quorum of 15 members, any adult person who resides in the territory is eligible for membership, any eligible resident may become a member by payment of $5 annual dues—which I propose waiving until the Bylaws are revised--and each member shall have one vote). The Bylaws were posted on the RockCreekForest@yahoogroups listserve on December 12, 2011 by Abe Schuchman; for a copy of the Bylaws, please call Terri Salus (301-587-5017).
2) Vote #2: In his November 8, 2011 Memorandum (available on the MCPS website), Joshua P. Starr, Superintendent of Schools described the new site selection process for the Bethesda-Chevy Chase (B-CC) Middle School #2. Of particular note, Dr. Starr directed “that a representative of each registered homeownwers’ association that encompasses or is immediately adjacent to each candidate site be invited to participate on the SSAC” (Site Selection Advisory Committee). The RCFCA, in addition to the Rosemary-Hills, Lyttsonsville, and many other registered community associations adjacent to the 9 other sites that were originally considered, have each been invited to offer a representative to serve on the SSAC. The individual receiving the most votes will serve as the RCFCA representative and the individual receiving the second most votes will serve as the alternate.
3) Absentee Write-In Comments may be submitted to Scott Brumburgh at sbrumburgh@aol.com or 2801 Spencer Road, Chevy Chase 20815 by Tuesday, 1/3/2012, 5 PM; please write clearly and succinctly and include your name and address. The Absentee Write-In Comments may include a list of 5 concerns (in order of priority and limited to 1 sentence per concern), and recommendation for RCFCA representative to the SSAC (to date, Howard Oppenheim/NW, Jean Redmond/NE, and Tim Wolf/NE have volunteered to serve; additional nominations may be offered on January 4, 2012).
4) If you need or can offer transportation to/from the Community Meeting, please call Terri Salus (301-587-5017).
