CRESTWOOD CITIZENS ASSOCIATION

WASHINGTON, DC       |       ESTABLISHED 1941

VIRTUAL Annual Meeting,

Tue, April 28, 2020 7:12 PM | Anonymous member

Annual Meeting - Tuesday, May 19, 2020 at 7pm

 The Crestwood Citizens Association Annual Meeting will take place virtually on Tuesday, May 19, 2020 via Zoom. If you do not want to use Zoom, there will be a regular conference call number for you to dial in by telephone. 

The current plan is not to open up the meeting for spoken questions or comments - rather, it will be a presentation-only meeting with the Board speaking and responding to written questions/comments. Neighbors will have an opportunity to make comments through the Zoom chat function or by sending an email. We will have Board members monitoring both avenues in real time and will be able to raise questions and comments with the group as appropriate. We know this is not ideal, and we appreciate everyone's understanding.

We've already heard some things that neighbors want to talk about including: Crestwood Connectors (block captain program), homelessness in Rock Creek Park, the Triangle, Blagden Avenue sidewalk, 16th Street Corridor, 501(c)(3) status, and zoning issues. If there are particular issues that you would like us to address, please email info@crestwooddc.org or respond to this email. 

We will not be voting on Board officers at the meeting. Rather, paid CCA members will receive information on how to vote by email prior to the meeting.

The following current Board members will be running for re-election: Pavan Khoobchandani for President, Doug Barker and John Favazzo for Vice President, Pat Kennedy for Secretary, and Kathleen Eder for Communications Director. 

We have one new candidate, Carey DeMatteis, who is running for Treasurer. Carey's candidate statement is as follows: 

Along with my wife and two toddlers, I’ve called Crestwood home for four years now. I’ve been impressed with the great work accomplished by the CCA and I’d like to be part of the effort going forward. These are unprecedented times forcing neighbors to physically distance from one another. The Association is well positioned to facilitate new connection points among neighbors during this time and well beyond, and to continue its overall work in building a strong Crestwood community.     

As Treasurer, my goals for the Association are to:

  • Nurture and build on the existing strengths of the neighborhood
  • Support membership enrollment as well as alternative funding sources such as grants, allowing the Association to do more for the community
  • Continue building the Association's relationships with government officials/agencies to ensure Crestwood’s voice is heard and issues are addressed in an effective and timely manner.

Help Rock Creek Park Recover!

Have you heard? The Association will donate $25 for the first 40 Crestwood neighbors that make a gift of ANY size to Rock Creek Conservancy before May 10 to help Rock Creek Park recover from our increased enjoyment of the park. Learn more and donate here!

COVID-19 Resources

As a reminder, CCA Board Members Kathleen Eder and John Favazzo are leading an effort to connect Crestwood neighbors that may need some assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic and neighbors who would like to help. We've had an outpouring of support and offers of assistance for things such as shopping, chatting, checking in, tech support, etc. 

But not too many neighbors have indicated they would like to avail themselves of these resources. 

Please email neighborly@crestwooddc.org if you know of anyone that may need something or if you have any ideas on ways that we can help alleviate issues caused by social distancing and the closing of non-essential businesses in the District.
