I wasn’t exactly surprised when I realized that our first 200 members represented all 8 wards (multiple times over) — but it confirmed what we all know. Albemarle is a treasured city asset. It hasn’t always been acknowledged as such, but it is dear to this neighborhood and to the Newton community overall. We need the space, the sky, the fields, the pool, the stars, the lights. And they need us.
As word has spread, and our numbers creep upwards to 300, I see that the cross-city distribution continues. I’m excited to see our progress toward 1,000 and beyond!
