Another bio Hello, my name is Judie Papadakis; I have resided in Riverwest for 30 plus years. I fell in love with our neighborhood when I resided for many years on Pierce and Wright. In 1989, I bought my house on Townsend St. I have raised 2 sons here and watched the neighborhood grow and improve. I am submitting this bio for consideration by my neighbors for the co-chair position on the RNA board. I have been an active, at-large board member for the last 3 years, chairing the neighborhood safety committee: meeting with neighbors, District 5 police and others interested in the safety of Riverwest. I give numerous hours volunteering for all events RNA is involved in: Center ST Daze, 4th of July and the rummage sale. I also attend the Business Committee meetings sharing concerns and safety ideas with the business owners in the neighborhood. I have a short column in the Riverwest Currents about safety and solutions. I spurred the “Power Up for Safety” event and I worked with our neighbors in two neighborhood clean ups. I canvassed the neighborhood with neighbors and Jan Christenson working toward solutions of issues that our the neighbors concerns, high traffic areas, litter and crime, If I am elected co-chair, I will work to accomplish creative ways to highlight the neighborhood. I will work to improve the RNA website to showcase businesses and neighbors while inviting people to enjoy our neighborhood. I would work with the board on creating more fundraisers to raise more income to continue working on beautification ideas. I will continue on the safety committee working for real solutions to the safety issues in the neighborhood; more outside lights on, the trees trimmed; there are many more ideas in improving safety. I care deeply for this neighborhood where I played with my children and now my grand children and want to continue to be of service to Riverwest. Thank you for your consideration for the co-chair position.
