Beautification & Safety: The Foundation has a multi-phase plan to improve the appearance of our community's intersections and entrances, as well as other areas of the neighborhood. This year, we installed our signature landscape at the neighborhood entrance of Quail Run Road. The design includes an antique brick column with a casted-stone "E", seasonal color, irrigation and landscape lighting. In addition, the Foundation has completed the process of installing custom, decorative signage. The primary effect of the improved signage is to beautify the neighborhood. However, in addition to making the area more attractive, the larger, reflective blades of our custom traffic signs make them easier for drivers and pedestrians to read, therefore improving safety. The new signage encompasses our signature "E" logo. The traffic signage has been installed in multiple phases over the years for cost purposes. 0 101716 Community Outreach: Safe, healthy, successful communities are ones in which neighbors know each other and look out for each other. Strengthening our community by providing opportunities for us to connect with one another is paramount to everything we do. This year we hosted our Annual Halloween Block Party, Annual Easter Party & Parade, and our Annual Membership Meeting. Accomplishing the objective of successful fall and spring events requires many hours each month to plan and promote these events. The Foundation has an ongoing partnership with Casey Elementary, our neighborhood school, to support their programs and facility needs. This year, we made improvements to their playground. The school, which does not have a physical education program, was in need of basketball goals and other outdoor play areas. The Foundation installed new goals as well as surface play areas on the grounds. 0 31150 Communication: Vital to the effectiveness of any organization is the ability to communicate effectively. In consideration of the fact that our community has new members (and prospective members) that are not familiar with our work, our history and our accomplishments, we created a thirteen page color report that explains our mission, our past projects and our prospective projects. The communication piece illustrates how the foundation's four focus areas- safety, communication, beautification and community outreach- fit into everything we do. It includes charts, graphs, renderings and photographs. Many hours went into assimilating the data, designing the artwork and determining the manner of presenting of this information. 0 18404 151270 Dale Currie Chairman 2.00 0 0 0 John Howie Treasurer 1.00 0 0 0 Sherry Partridge Secretary 1.00 0 0 0 John Pearson Director 1.00 0 0 0 Sarah Adams Director 1.00 0 0 0 Ted Duckworth Director 1.00 0 0 0 John Puckett Director 1.00 0 0 0 Thomas Stansell Director 1.00 0 0 0 David Traxler Director 1.00 0 0 0 Dana Robertson Executive Director 30.00 39200 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MS Homeland Neighborhood Mgmt 511 Keywood Circle Flowood MS 39232 6013267325 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 126622 172644 161322 124607 164947 750142 126622 172644 161322 124607 164947 750142 16403 733739 750142 0.97810 0.98890 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 - Grants and Similar Amounts Paid Activity Classification: .
