      <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.clementscircle.org/ClementsCircle/News_and_Events/Entries/2008/4/13_President%E2%80%99s_Letter____________________________________Leigh_McBain_files/09-22-05_1653.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.clementscircle.org/ClementsCircle/News_and_Events/Media/09-22-05_1653.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:10px; width:129px; height:129px;&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Spring is here once again and after all the snow that we have had over the last few months I am really looking forward to the warmer weather and all that it brings. One of those things is the opportunity to see all the people of the neighborhood that have been hibernating in their homes only to venture out to remove the snow from the driveway and walks or get to and from the car to take them back and forth to work or school. It has been a long hard winter for many of us but it is time once again to renew and refresh.                             &lt;br/&gt;This spring brings changes not only to the season, weather and our surroundings but also to the CCCA itself. These changes may come as a surprise to many of you but they are necessary to ensure that the Clements Circle remains strong and welcoming. The First of these changes is that we have cut back on the number of events that we are going to hold this year. Instead of having an Ice Cream Social, Corn Roast and the Neighborhood Picnic which was canceled last year due to a lack of help we, the CCCA Board have decided to pool our resources and combine all three into one big event in August! This event will be held on August 9th at the Clements Circle Park and will be called the Clements Circle Civic Association Neighborhood Picnic. The picnic has been a huge part of the CCCA for many years and with the limited volunteer resources that we have had it seemed silly to try to support the other events on a small scale when we could pull everything into one grand event such as the Neighborhood Picnic. Watch for more details in the coming months. &lt;br/&gt;The other change is a significant change in the CCCA Board. This has not been an easy decision for me but I need to step down as the president of our neighborhood association. I have been working full time in a job that requires me to travel quite a bit and I am also going to school to obtain my degree. This is all on top of my roles as father and husband. The end result is that there simply isn’t enough time for me to do all that I need to do and all that I want to do for the neighborhood. I still intend to remain very active in the CCCA and I would like to challenge all of you to take an active part in your neighborhood just as I have done. What can you do to make sure that this place that we all call home remains safe, friendly and strong as a community? There are a small handful of people that have been there for almost every event, or served in some small way to make sure that all the things that the Clements Circle does continue, but to ensure the future of the CCCA we simply need more involvement by you the members. So please, challenge yourself and become an active CCCA member.</description>
