I promised Chuck Bullamore that I would correct statements made in my earlier email (see below) about the distribution of the Charles Villager. <BR>
<BR>
I checked with Anne Raines, the Membership Chair of the Charles Village Civic Association Board of Directors and she reported to me that receiving the Charles Villager is not currently a benefit of membership in the CVCA. Chuck Bullamore reports that the Villager is mailed to lifetime members of the CVCA who have moved out of the District. Otherwise, The Villager is distributed to as many residents of Charles Village as there are volunteer distribution captains on every block. So if you are not getting a copy delivered to your home, it is because there is no one on that block volunteering to distribute it. You can either contact Chuck Bullamore about volunteering to distribute the Villager on your block or you can pick one up at Eddie's Market and other distribution points around the Village. <BR>
<BR>
You might also contact Katie Beltz, Block Leader Coordinator, at the Charles Village Community Benefits District (CVCBD) to see whether there is a block leader on your block. If there is you can contact your leader to see if they might be interested in distributing the Charles Villager on your block. If they are they should contact Chuck Bullamore to make arrangements to distribute. Or Katie might persuade you to be a block leader yourself.<BR>
<BR>
At the CVCA Board meeting last night Sandy Sparks reported that the next issue is about to be distributed in the next day or two. With the help of others on this list I will try to remember to let this list know when future issues are being distributed. I think that it is important for as many people to get the Villager as possible. However, because the Villager is distributed by volunteers, it needs more volunteers if it is going to be distributed more widely.<BR>
<BR>
Chuck Bullamore does a yeoman's job in coordinating the effort and I did not intend to suggest that his job duties should be increased in any way. Anne Raines said it best, "</FONT><FONT COLOR="#0000ff" BACK="#ffffff" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=2 PTSIZE=10 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0">I suppose from my point of view as a member</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" BACK="#ffffff" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=2 PTSIZE=10 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0"> [of the CVCA]</FONT><FONT COLOR="#0000ff" BACK="#ffffff" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=2 PTSIZE=10 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0">, the chief benefit of membership is to have at one's service the dedicated group of volunteers who act as the 'Minutemen' of Charles Village.

Chuck Bullamore handles distribution requests for the Charles Villager. If you are not receiving it on your block contact him at the above email address for more information. Are you a member of the Charles Village Civic Association? If not, would you like to be? Members get copies of the Villager delivered to their home. There is also a CVCA member notice list for distribution of notices by email.<BR>
<BR>
I distributed the Spaghetti Disco info using my Westside Neighbor's List to those West of Charles Street for whom I have email addresses. It is not a CVCA run event. It is run by a small group of community volunteers who thought it was a good idea 9 years ago. I am not one of that group but I have always known about it and have often attended.<BR>
<BR>
There were no advanced ticket sales and you could only buy tickets at the door.<BR>
<BR>
I am sorry that no one thought to circulate the notice of the Spaghetti Disco on the Chat list. Maybe next year it will be done.<BR>
<BR>
It was a lot of fun for children and for adults. There was a separate play room for children while the adults danced. The food and music were great! <BR>

I didn't get the Charles Villager. I don't know who delivers it on my<BR>
block.<BR>
<BR>
I would have gone to the disco with some friends if I had known about it.<BR>

5:30 to 8 Spaghetti Dinner, W/ salad. Beer/ wine cash bar. <BR>
8 to 11, dancing. <BR>
$14.00 At the door... (which means there were cheaper tickets at some<BR>
point...?<BR>
But apparently it was a well kept secret. ) <BR>
There was some mention of childrens activities, and reduced price tickets<BR>
