Good Turnout for OLPNO Spring Meeting

The semi-annual meeting, held May 8, was very well attended by about 70 members at the O’Donnell Golf Course clubhouse. Neighbors gathered for a social hour with cocktails and appetizers and then settled in for an informative program of neighborhood and city updates. An important upcoming change to the security patrol service was announced (see entry below) by the Security Committee and progress reports were provided by the Beautification and Membership committees. Secretary John Williams, in his dual role as OLPNO representative and Chair of the Palm Springs Neighborhood Involvement Committee (PSNIC), provided a summary of PSNIC accomplishments.

The evening’s featured speaker – John Raymond, Director of Community and Economic Development for the City of Palm Springs - provided a comprehensive overview of the many building and reconstruction projects that are underway in the Uptown area (N Palm Canyon and N Indian Canyon Drives). Ed Randall, representing the Colony Palms Lofts project, described the proposed development and provided artists renderings for review and comment.
