The
primary goal of the Claremont-Elmwood Neighborhood Association
(CENA) is to make our neighborhood a safe and desirable
place to live, and to keep our residents informed about
important issues in the City and the neighborhood. We
monitor traffic and transportation, crime and public
safety, emergency preparedness, open space, the local
business environment, city planning and the University
of California's impact on our community, and we interface
with other neighborhood associations. CENA is a forum
where neighbors can discuss issues of concern with their
neighbors.
CENA has led the fight for balanced development, for
getting City Hall to address traffic problems on residential
streets, for preserving parkland and open space, and
protecting local neighborhood merchants. We have spearheaded
these battles and we have won many of them. CENA wins
them with diplomacy and new ideas. We understand that
change is going to happen, but we try to preserve the
best aspects of our neighborhood that drew us to live
here in the first place.
CENA functions as a research and opinion arm to support
our District 8 Council person. We regularly communicate
with our CENA constituency with a biannual newsletter,
e-mails about important events, and usually hold two
membership meetings annually. With over 800 members,
CENA is the largest neighborhood association in Berkeley.
This strong membership gives us greater impact and strengthens
our voice in solving neighborhood concerns.
The meetings of our board of directors occur every other
month and are open to all CENA neighbors. If you would
like to attend, or have something you would like to
discuss, please e-mail info@claremontelmwood.org
or send a note to:
CENA, P. O. Box 5108, Berkeley, CA 94705. |
