Committess
Several committees are provided for in those same RCNA By-Laws. Unfortunately, most of these committees don’t exist due simply to a lack of board members. Each committee, per the by-laws, should have a chairperson along with at least 2 committee members. So if you see a committee you are interested in, start attending our monthly RCNA board meetings and we will be more than happy to get you up to speed and let you run with whatever idea you have for the neighborhood!
Also, the various responsibility descriptions below are not taken directly from the RCNA By-Laws, which for the record start on page 3, in article 4 and item 6, and you are free to read, but instead are real world normal descriptions.

We need volunteers!
Come share your ideas with us – and maybe even join the board in some capacity – or maybe just volunteer for an event you are particularly drawn to! As stated previously, many officer and committee positions are vacant, so there are simply not enough board members right now to do everything we want to do in the way we want do it. We wish we could pursue every good idea everyone has, but we simply don’t have the time or resources. We need your help in whatever capacity you can give it! So come visit us and share your thoughts and ideas – and get involved!
