Annual NEHHPA General Membership MeetingThursday, February 23, 2012, 7:00 p.m. at Noland United Methodist ChurchDownload a printable flyer We encourage you to come at 6:45 PM to become a new member or to renew your membership. The meeting will begin promptly at 7:00 PM. The meeting will includea guest speaker providing information of interest to our neighborhood, and the business meeting, which will present the items below on the agenda. We are pleased to announce that Nicolas K. Warner will be our speaker and share with us information about the CERT program. He will describe the Disaster Prep, CERT Organization, Fire Safety, Light Search and Rescue, Disaster Psychology, Medical OPS I and II, Terrorism, and final disaster scenario. He will also have application forms, brochures, and a flyer with the upcoming class schedule. Having several people from the same neighborhood take the class is vital to building a good CERT team for their local area. He will also speak about supplemental training, the specialty teams for pet sheltering, points of distribution, and outreach which is also important for participants to continue to stay involved and refresh their skills. Following the guest speaker, we will conduct our regular meeting. The Board will explain what has been done over the past year, where it would like to go in the next year, and what is hoped to be accomplished. We will present a survey for members so that they can express their thoughts and desires and hopefully it will generate more meaningful input into NEHHPA. Nominations to the Board will then be accepted and voted upon according to the by-laws. The Board hopes to continue the rebuilding of membership effort and to establish better working relationships with the City of Newport News and its departments as well as with our biggest neighbor, Huntington Ingalls Industries. Each member who joins and participates in those efforts brings all of us that much closer to achieving these ends. |
The North End End Historic District is a 22 block, early twentieth century neighborhood of downtown Newport News. Developed primarily between 1900 and 1935, it is the largest and most architecturally cohesive neighborhood of the inner city.
This is a neighborhood as you might remember yours while growing up, where neighbors stop and visit and your children can rely on the people who live next door. We are a close-knit, enthusiastic, and diverse group of neighbors who are dedicated to preserving our architectural heritage. Churches dot our streets and the bustle of shipyard activity remind us of the city's roots. Our community is bounded on one side by majestic Huntington Avenue, which overlooks the James River and takes you to the port areas of the city as well as the nearby Monitor and Merrimack museum. Warwick Boulevard forms the eastern boundary, which leads to the Leeward Marina, Huntington Parkand beach, the War Museum, historic Hilton, and the world-renowned Mariners Museum.
