The Capitol Hill Community Council is gearing up to hold its annual elections and the council needs you to get involved. There are seven officer slots that need to be filled under the new bylaws -- as of this posting, four candidates have declared so you've got good odds. BTW, you need to declare in time to be part of the second candidate night on Tuesday the 26th to be eligible for the 09 election.
The Capitol Hill Community Council is accepting nominations for its annual election of officers by May 21st.
This year the Council is expanding its officer roles to seven positions: President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary and three"At-Large" officers.
Over the last year, the Capitol Hill Community Council has hosted various meetings to address community concerns and developments. The Council has also organized the "Capitol Hill Halloween Walk," spearheaded the creation of the "Capitol Hill Discount Dollar" and coordinated the fundraising efforts of "Unpaving Paradise" to benefit John and Summit Park. The Capitol Hill Community Council is also currently developing plans for the first annual "Capitol Hill Pride Festival" for June 27, 2009.
We encourage our friends & neighbors who are interested in building community and effecting positive change to consider running for office.
Anyone can nominate any other member of the community for office, including him or herself.

Me? I'm not running again. I served as chair this year to help get things started and give this 'community organizer' thing a try. Now, I'm a lame duck. More about the council and the elections later this week, hopefully. Stay tuned.
