Dear Members, Merchants and Friends,

How fortunate RUSSIAN HILL NEIGHBORS is to have more than 50 individuals volunteering to serve on our Board of Directors, Advisors, and Committees. If you too want to make a difference in this wonderful neighborhood, meet new friends and have a lot of fun, consider joining us. Currently, we have positions open as Chair of the Social and Chair of the Families with Children Committees. Please email me if you are interested in serving president@rhnsf.org. 
 
By keeping our expenses lean, we have been able to build up a reserve fund. At its September meeting, our Board voted to donate $15,000 of these funds to help meet the exciting challenge grant that will bring $6 million dollars to the Francisco Park Conservancy so that construction of this wonderful new open space can begin in early 2019. This is definitely a “stretch gift” for our organization – the largest we have ever made, I believe – and we hope that it inspires every resident here to make your own stretch gift to meet this challenge. Find out more about making your own gift HERE.
 
Congratulations and sincere thanks to the 65 graduates who took the rigorous 6-week NERT training in August and September. We are all safer and better prepared with these trained volunteers in our neighborhood. RHN is in the process of creating a neighborhood wide resiliency and preparedness plan to involve, eventually, every block and every residential high-rise. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE PART OF THIS PLANNING, PLEASE EMAIL ME DIRECTLY, PRESIDENT@RHNSF.ORG.  This is important work.  

One last word, please join us in helping to make our neighborhood clean, at the October 13th, Sterling Park Spruce UP sponsored by both RHN Neighborhood Improvement & Park Committee.  Thank you.
 
Carol Ann Rogers
President
