ENA’s support committees have the same goal: to increase appreciation and support of the neighborhood and the neighborhood association.
Marketing/Publicity Committee
Chair: Karen Schroeder 317-4980
The Marketing Committee is responsible for raising awareness about ENA and life in Eastwood. Projects include: preparing the quarterly Eastwood Neighbor; updating the website; and developing new ideas to keep residents informed about their neighborhood association and other community events. Check out the calendar in our quarterly newsletter and on our home page. If you have an event of interest to Eastwoodites, let us know.
Membership Committee
Chair: Sharon Morrison 438-3132
The Membership Committee continually seeks new ways to increase membership in ENA and participation on our committees.
The committee maintains membership records, collects membership dues, distributes the Eastwood Neighbor and acts as hosts at our general meetings.
Other on-going duties include the New Neighbors Network, which welcomes new homeowners to Eastwood and introduces them to ENA.
If you are a new neighbor or know of one who would be interested in joining ENA, let us know.
Special Events
Chair: Sue Straub 437-5087
The Special Events Committee coordinates activities to foster community involvement and to develop neighborhood camaraderie while raising funds to benefit Eastwood.

Let us know if you have an idea for an event or if you would like to help plan current events.
ENA’s action committees were formed based on neighbor’s input and dreams for their neighborhood. Currently, we have the following working groups, with the potential to form any number of new committees, based on interest and participation.
Green Thumb Committee

The Green Thumb Committee maintains several planting sites throughout Eastwood and most of the flower pots that line James Street throughout the summer. Plans for early spring preparations begin in January. Tending the garden sites extends through the summer.
