Dear Downtown Residents,
Welcome friends and neighbors to the WPB Downtown Neighborhood Association (DNA) website. We are a neighborhood association made up of residents from the downtown WPB area bound by Clear Lake on the West, Flagler Drive on the east, Banyan Blvd on our North and Okeechobee Blvd on our South. Most of the residents in downtown live in high-rise condos, but we still have a few single family homes in our neighborhood. It is our intention to facilitate a way for residents to communicate with local government with respect to downtown living conditions. Safety, beautification, public events are some of the issues we hope to share with you. As a member of the WPBDNA we will keep you informed as to local meetings, happenings and upcoming events, and give you a forum to ask questions and come up with ideas how to make downtown WPB one of the best places to live in the entire city.
We welcome all comments and ideas so please feel free to email your thoughts and share your ideas.
Best Regards,
Howard Pincus, President
West Palm Beach Downtown Neighborhood Association (DNA)

WPBDNA Board of Directors Announcement
|
The West Palm Beach Downtown Neighborhood Association announces a change in the DNA Board of Directors. Mr. Joseph Schober has stepped down as a Director on the DNA Board. Joseph, a founding member of the DNA Board, has been a key contributor to the current success of the DNA. His insight and experience has played a significant role in the growth of the organization and we look forward to his continued participation in the DNA. Thank you Joseph for all your contributions!
With this change, the Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Ms. Jeannene Cox as the newest member of the Board of Directors. Jeannene is a paralegal and licensed real estate title examiner. She has served the DNA as chairman of the Membership Committee and has been an active member of the DNA since 2008. Originally hailed from Canada, Jeannene now calls the Strand home where she lives with her husband. Welcome, Jeannene, to the DNA Board.
The Board would also like to welcome Ms. Susan Landeryou as the new chairman of the DNA Social Committee. Thank you, Susan.
With the appointment of Jeannene Cox to the Board of Directors, the DNA now has a vacancy in the chairmanship of the Membership Committee. Anyone interested in filling this position should contact any Board member.
In 2009 our membership surged to over 300 members because people like yourself want to become involved in this renewal of downtown West Palm Beach. Now it's 2010 and each of us needs to renew their individual membership for the extravagant fee of $10 for the new year.
At our Community Nights we invite you to meet other downtown residents along with the city officials who frequently attend. You can exchange ideas about what can be done to make our neighborhood a better place.
You can also communicate your ideas directly to our board of directors. Since our President, Howard Pincus, meets periodically with the Mayor to discuss our needs and attends may city commission meetings on our behalf, we enjoy another line of communication there also.
Because of our growing membership success, we will be restricting our Community Night events to members only, but you can usually join on the night of the event. Our February event, however, will be a nightmare if each of you decides to renew on that night. Please avoid this problem by renewing by mail before then. Click this to go to our renewal form, fill it out on line so that your information is clear, print it out and mail it in with your $10 dues. It would be sad to miss 20 minutes of the event just because you were standing in line.
