OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER OF THE VALLEY GLEN NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION
Volume 12, Issue 1 www.valleyglen.org Winter 2013

Your VGNA Board:
Carlos Ferreyra
President

Dean Abston
Vice President

From Our President Carlos Ferreyra — Another year is upon us and we must ask ourselves, “Did the Mayans just run out of space on their rock when carving out their calendar?” As your Association (“VGNA”) moves forward this new year to continue its work of improving the quality of life in our community, we strive to transform it into a much more dynamic and exciting group. But our core values will remain intact: to serve the community, to engage the residents, to be their voice and to do so with pride in Valley Glen.
2012 was a great year for VGNA. Our Adopt-A-Family program, spearheaded by Judy Price, was able to help a record number of families. The annual picnic drew a great number of people with wonderful praises for the fun everyone had. Some of our general meetings had record attendance. But the work continues. We must restore the Neighborhood Watch program that once covered every block in Valley Glen. We must create a closer partnership with our Neighborhood Council to strengthen the representation of Valley Glen in City matters. We must engage our growing small business community to participate in VGNA’s events and concerns. We must make 2013 a banner year for the Valley Glen Neighborhood Association. With your help and participation, all things are possible.

The startup of a mobile health screening unit from a collaboration with United Health Care, and efforts in place to provide a central location (on-stop approach) for families to receive services. Efforts to expand nationally or internationally have not been approached at this time. Bienvenidos faced with the adjustments from possibly sun setting two or more programs that will affect staffing, revenue, and facilities. Currently, Bienvenidos employ about 110 staff members with a governing board of 18 members for three divisions (Foster Care, Mental Health, and Community Services) and 15 board members for the medical services division.

    1) Bill Young believes that because his employees were not responsible for the 9/11 attacks, they should not have to suffer loss of income as a consequence. Businesses are always subject to economic forces over which they have little or no control. Should the business response to something like the 9/11 attacks be any different from the response to “normal” fluctuations in the business cycle? If so, why and how? If not, why not? How does the example set by Aaron Feuerstein influence your decision?…

    I am presenting this evening my Informative Speech. That was then….and this is now. I call Culpeper, Virginia home. Though, the small town I knew growing up was Springfield, Virginia. I would like to tell you and share some of my memories about growing up in Northern Virginia and of its changes that have occurred over the decades. Growing up Springfield really was small town USA. The normal commuter was traveling south onto interstate 95 from Washington, D.C. which is now is exit 169A and a permanent memory etched in my brain. Throughout the 1970’s there was only three very small strip shopping malls the served a country setting population. Then the 1980’s came, and flooded the suburbs with malls. People still went into Washington, D.C.…

    First I will report about the local Boys and Girls Club within Henderson County. On November 1st 1993 The Boys & Girls Club of Henderson Co. opened its doors to 150 youth in the Green Meadows Community Center. (This 2000-sq.-ft. room now houses the Club’s game-room and a kitchen.) (3). In 1995 The Club obtained two adjacent houses—one eventually renovated into a teen center (1250 sq. ft.), and one renovated into a classroom facility and counseling center (1200 sq. ft.) (3). In February 1996 The Club opened a 12,000-square-foot addition of classrooms, lobby, office space and a large gymnasium to serve the expanding membership (3). Between the years of 1998 and 1999 The Club operated a satellite unit in an old school annex building in East Flat Rock, expanding the Club’s reach into other parts of Henderson County (3). On January 1st, 2000 The Club opened its doors to a 3,000-square-foot Center for the Arts. Divided into a visual arts space and a performing arts space, the building also houses the largest kitchen on campus. This expansion of the main campus allowed the organization to merge the East Flat Rock unit into the Green Meadows facility. Annual membership surged to more than 500, with a uniquely balanced distribution of African-American, Hispanic/Latino, Caucasian and Native American youth (3). Currently in the Henderson County branch of the Boys and Girls Club…
