US Dept of Justice Community Meeting

Posted on February 4, 2013 by David Dabney
Dear Community Leader:
 
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is hosting a community meeting at the Cesar Chavez Community Center from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm on Monday, February 11, 2013. I write to request your assistance in notifying the community about the meeting.
 
The purpose of the meeting is to provide an opportunity for members of the community to learn about DOJ’s investigation into use of force by the Albuquerque Police Department (APD) and to provide individuals a forum to submit information that may be relevant to the investigation. 
 
The meeting will begin with an informational briefing on DOJ’s civil authority to address police misconduct and a brief discussion about the scope and nature of DOJ’s investigation of APD. After that, individuals will have an opportunity to speak to DOJ attorneys and investigators in a more private setting about specific information or incidents they may have experienced or witnessed involving use of force by APD. 
 
We realize that some individuals may have scheduling conflicts or may prefer an alternate setting to submit information. We therefore ask you to please remind the community that individuals can submit information or make arrangements to speak with DOJ attorneys and investigators by contacting DOJ via E-email at Community.Albuquerque@usdoj.gov or by telephone at (855) 544-5134.
 
Thank you for helping us notify the community about this meeting and for sharing information on how individuals can contact DOJ to assist the investigation.

General Membership Meeting Date Has Moved

Posted on September 27, 2012 by David Dabney
The board of the PHNA has voted to move the General Membership Meeting from October 2nd to October 30th. The location and time remain the same: Whittier Community Center, 7:30pm.
We feel this date will allow more time to create the fall newsletter and get it distributed in a timely manner, secure an additional speaker and post signs around the neighborhood.
In addition, Gillian will be leaving the Board in mid October and we’re very grateful to her for all her help in facilitating the Music Under the Dome grant and managing our finances. If you’re interested in becoming the new Treasurer for the PHNA, a vote will be held at the General Membership meeting on October 30th.

March-a-thon This Weekend

Posted on August 20, 2012 by David Dabney

The new band director at Highland High School sent us this note recently:

This year’s March-A-Thon is scheduled for Saturday, August 25th from 9 to 11am.  Our primary stops are Triangle Park, Hyder Park, and Ridgecrest Park, yet there will be music throughout the route.  In order to raise awareness of our visit, our students plan on distributing flyers Thursday or Friday of next week (August 23rd and 24th).

We really appreciate the continued support of this event and our band.  This is a big fund raiser for us and we could not make it such a success without your generosity and hospitality.  I am running off the master list from last year, so I apologize if this email reached any of you erroneously.  As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.  Many thanks, Josephine Gonzales

Here’s a link to the event flyer: March-A-Thon Flyer.
