Cora-Howe Liaison
The Eastwood Neighbors Association works very closesly with Cora-Howe Elementary School and the Family Resource Center. Jerry Vandiver is our liaison and correspondent with the Family Resource Center. Jerry attends the quarterly Advisory Council meetings and gives updates at the general Association meetings.

Social Committee
Eastwood Neighbors holds a minimum of four social events each year (a requirement of our bylaws). In 2008 we had had two Sidewalk Clean-Ups that took place in Spring and Fall and Night Out Against Crime in August. If you would like to help coordinate social events or fundraisers for 2009, please email us at admin@eastwoodneighors.org.

Crime & Safety Committee
We are currently looking for a volunteer to head up this committee. This committee could comprise of a Neighborhood Watch program, a liason for the neighborhood who attends the weekly Crime and Prevention meetings at Beyond the Edge, etc. Last year we had a safety fair during one of our Association meetings, in collaboration with the Cora Howe Family Resource Center, that was a big success.
