Annual Meeting Will Feature Home Safety Presentation And Election Of Board Members

The Annual Meeting of the Rodgers Forge Community, Inc. will feature some presentations that should be of interest to Rodgers Forge residents. The meeting will take place in the cafeteria of the Rodgers Forge Elementary School at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, September 9th. The date conflicts with an event at Dumbarton Middle School where the meeting is normally held. All Forge residents are welcome to attend.

The Baltimore County Fire Department, in light of some fires that occurred in Forge homes in June, will present ideas about what to inspect for in terms of possible dangerous situations and also how to prevent hazardous incidents from occurring. Rodgers Forge has, in fact, been chosen to be the first neighborhood to receive the Safety Awareness For Everyone (S.A.F.E.) program just initiated by the County Fire Department. Representatives from County agencies, in addition to making a presentation at the annual meeting, will later conduct a neighborhood sweep where they will knock on doors and talk to residents about their safety concerns.

The annual election of the Board of Governors will take place at the September meeting and all dues paying members of the Rodgers Forge Community, Inc. present may vote for nominees to the Board of Governors. Anyone wishing to run for one of the open spots on the board should contact the Nominating Chairman, Jason Carter, in advance of the annual meeting with a brief resume and what they would like to accomplish if elected. Jason will be pleased to answer questions about board membership and may be contacted by email for details at: Jcarter9@verizon.net. New officers are elected by board members a week after the annual meeting.

An update on the progress of traffic calming improvements and other community safety measures will be presented.
