A message from APNA President David Bachman-Williams:

Hello Armory Park neighbors and friends,

Our Annual Meeting  

November 12th  

6:30 to 8 PM

Safford School library

There will be three agenda items:

1. Elections for both the Armory Park Historic Zone Advisory Board and Armory Park Neighborhood Association. We have enough candidates for the APNA positions, we need more for the APHZAB board.

2. Captain Pettey from Operations Division West of TPD will be here to talk about the tragic death of Stacy Gallandt.  Captain Pettey was head of Traffic for a time. As such she can speak to how TPD and the city respond to traffic deaths. She will take questions, too.

3. Cristina Polsgrove, Management Coordinator for the City of Tucson’s Environmental and General Services, will be here to speak about recycling. She will speak to what goes in regular recycling, what goes in the orange bags, and what is not recyclable. We will have an orange bag for everyone to take home.

Please put this on your calendar!  

December 7th Holiday Party at St. Andrew’s Parish Hall

APNA Board: Looking for a Few Good People

A message from our APNA President:

Hello good neighbors and friends,

Our annual meeting for the Armory Park Neighborhood Association will be Tuesday, November 12th. Would you consider running for a position on the board? Being on the board is an opportunity to help lead the neighborhood. The association works to preserve the historic nature of our neighborhood, works with city leadership to take care of streets, sidewalks, lighting, issues that come up and plans social events. 

Being on the board involves a commitment to one meeting a month for two years. The meetings are on the second Tuesday of the month from 6:30 to 8 PM. Officers are elected for one year.

A director is a regular voting member of the board. The board consists of 10 directors, four of whom are officers. The officers are as follows.

*Treasurer – This person is in charge of the finances. They prepare a monthly report, make a few deposits and write a few checks per year.

*Secretary – This person takes minutes of the meetings, sends them out to the rest of the board and posts them on the website.

*Vice President – This person is in charge of membership and fills in for the president as needed.

*President – This person sets the agendas for the meetings, corresponds with the neighborhood and local government and other entities, and runs the monthly meetings.

If you are interested and willing to be on the board please let me know. I would be happy to talk with you if you have questions (520-975-4852 or president@armoryparktucson.org)

David Bachman-Williams,

APNA president.

APNA General Meeting 4/11/23 @ 6:30 PM

Hi Armory Parkers,

The APNA board voted to have a general meeting in April.  There are items of general interest that we feel the neighborhood should hear about.  So please come to the Safford School faculty parking lot (corner of 4th Ave. and 13th St.)  The library is the big boxy building next to the parking lot.  Please enter by the north side door.  You have to walk to the far end of the chain link fence and then back along the side of the library to the door.

Topics of general interest:

     1. A representative of the City of Tucson Transportation and Mobility Department will be there to talk about the scheduling of residential street repaving.

     2. Council member Steve Kozachik’s top aide, Diana Amado, will be there to answer questions.

     3. A rewrite of the APNA bylaws will be presented for approval.

     4. Meet your current board and talk to them about what you would like to see done in our beautiful neighborhood.

     5. There will be opportunity to raise concerns about our neighborhood.

See you next Tuesday.

David Bachman-Williams

APNA Annual Meeting November 22, 2022

APNA will hold its annual meeting on Tuesday, November 22, at 6:30 PM. This meeting will include the elections of officers for next year and topics of interest to the community. Join it on Zoom.

NOTE: Normally, APNA meetings are on the second Tuesday of the month. The APNA board voted to move the APNA annual meeting to November 22. The Board felt that holding the meeting on Election night as normally scheduled would be problematic and reduce turnout. Keeping with Tuesdays the Board decided on the fourth Tuesday.
