Thursday, November 6 • 5 PM
Cranky Al’s

TETNA’s T.G.I.T. (Thank God It’s Thursday) is scheduled for November 6, 2008 at Cranky Al’s starting at 5pm. This is an in-formal social event with no meeting structure, just a get together to have something to drink and/or eat (buy your own) and meet some neighbors.  TETNA is trying this on a Thursday evening instead of a Friday, thus it’s called TGIT !!!

Beginning in 1994, a group of conscientious neighbors surveyed area residents concerning an interest in the formation of a neighborhood association. Thirteen years later, the Tosa East Towne Neighborhood Association (TETNA) continues to be a strong community.

One of the largest areas on the east side of Tosa, the challenge of connecting with residents requires the commitment of our neighbors. Only 19% of 2100 households become members of TETNA. Our goal is to increase this number by 50 more families! Whether you can be an active participant or a supportive member, nurture the value of your neighborhood by contributing to TETNA! Membership in TETNA is more than a yearly trick-or-treat event. It’s an opportunity to reduce crime, increase our quality of life, unite in common goals, and effectively communicate to all residents.
