LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
DEAR NEIGHBORS,
My President’s letter comes to you one year after COVID-19 changed our world overnight. March 2020 seems like a
lifetime ago and in North Rosedale Park we have been through much together while safely remaining at a distance
from each other. We hold so many memories of the last year and I’m grateful that after a year of tremendous loss and
reckoning, we were able to be each other’s bond.
I chose to open this first edition of the 2021 Tattler with the words of Amanda Gorman from her celebrated poem,
“The Hill We Climb.” Her hopeful embrace of the future we must create serves as a powerful north star for our work
in North Rosedale Park. When she graced the podium on January 20 at the Inauguration of President Joe Biden and
Vice President Kamala Harris, it was a moment not only for the country to pause and reflect on our collective purpose,
but closer to home - in our neighborhood – we should view it as a poignant invitation for change and audacious
possibilities. Her call to action - for us to rebuild, reconcile and recover - embodies our neighborhood agenda for how
we will work in the year ahead.
WELCOME NEW BOARD DIRECTORS TO THE NORTH ROSEDALE PARK CIVIC ASSOCIATION
In January, the neighborhood held its annual elections and on behalf of the North Rosedale Park Civic Association; I’m
pleased to announce that four new members have joined the board of directors. Coming with strong backgrounds
in business and education, the dynamic new NRPCA board members bring years of experience and leadership in
our neighborhood, fresh new ideas, and the energy to help address the complex challenges we still face from the
aftershocks of the pandemic. Please join me in welcoming Elizabeth Cooper, James Courtney, Theresa Glenn, and
Eric Willingham to the board. The four new members join existing board members Beverly Frederick, Bill Frey, Karen
Graham, Sarah Hulett, Chris Krupa, and James Martin. They will be joined by the 2021 board appointees approved at
the February 7, board meeting: Marcia Bonner, Corresponding Secretary; JaNae Harrison, Recording Secretary; and
Chelsea Neblett, Membership Secretary.
We thank Adriane Henry, Billie Newsom and Ebonee Webb for their tremendous board service during 2020. Both Billie
and Ebonee have agreed to continue as volunteers for NRPCA with Billie serving as the Interim Co-Building Manager
(with Beverly Frederick) and Ebonee will again co-chair our annual Steak Roast (with James Courtney).
A YEAR TO “REBUILD, RECONCILE, AND RECOVER” IN NORTH ROSEDALE PARK
North Rosedale Park begins the new year at an inflection point as Detroit begins to grapple with its post-pandemic
future. Our neighborhood continues to meet the moment in addressing the health impacts COVID-19, but now there
is an impending economic reset ahead that NRPCA must be vigilant to address. The NRPCA Board of Directors will be
organized around the following priorities in 2021:
• Provide stronger governance and financial stewardship for the park and Community House.
• Grow our membership and foster a sense of community.
• Support actions that keep our neighborhood beautiful and safe during the pandemic.
SPRING IS NOT CANCELED
At its March 4, meeting the NRPCA voted to reopen the playground. A tremendous thank you to Amy Oakes for creating the
beautiful new signage to inform visitors on the importance of maintaining vigilance against COVID-19, while using the playscapes.
Our celebration of North Rosedale Park’s centennial year continues in 2021 thanks to the leadership of the North Rosedale Park
