2020 MERION VILLAGE COMMUNITY COOKBOOK

11/14/2020

0 Comments

 
​If you joined us for the monthly MVA meeting in November, you have already heard the news... If not, we’re excited to announce the 2020 Merion Village Community Cookbook!
 
One of our favorite events each year is the community potluck we typically hold in December. Unfortunately, as we all continue to navigate the COVID crisis, it’s not safe to gather around a table with our friends and neighbors at this time. Nevertheless, we want to bring neighbors together to share meals in a different way!
 
We would like to invite all members of the South Side community to share your favorite recipes with us, which we will then compile into a downloadable Community Cookbook. This collaborative cookbook will be available on our website for free download mid-December.
 
Do you have a dessert that’s been passed down though your family, or maybe a side dish you discovered at an office potluck that you’d like to share with your neighbors? CLICK HERE to complete our recipe contribution form and share as many recipes as you’d like! Each recipe will give credit to the neighbor from whom it was contributed.
 
Thank you so much for helping us to create the very first Merion Village Community Cookbook. We can’t to see what recipes you’ll share!

MVA During the COVID-19 Crisis

3/28/2020

0 Comments

 
The MVA will continue to follow the recommendations set forth by our local and national leaders to limit and slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus. This will include implementation of the following:

  • Cancellation of monthly MVA meetings until it is safe to resume group gatherings.
  • Indefinite postponement of the annual Spring Community Yard Sale (originally scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 2nd)
  • Cancellation of monthly MVA sponsored happy hours, game nights or other social events.

Our board will publish a monthly Treasurer's Report on our website and will provide any updates on the association through our blog. As always, should you wish to contact the MVA board, please reach out to us through our contact form.

Thank you and stay safe!

MONTHLY MEETINGS TO BEGIN AT 7 PM!

2/27/2020

0 Comments

 
Beginning in March, monthly MVA meetings will return to the starting time of 7 PM! If you’ve been coming to meetings for a while, you’ll recall that they previously began at 7 PM. In 2015, we moved to 7:15 PM in order to allow a joint meeting between the MVA and the newly formed Merion Village Block Watch.
 
Now that the Block Watch has grown into a separate group and meetings are held on a different date and time, the current board felt it may be time to move our meeting start time back to 7 PM. Members in attendance at the monthly meeting on February 5th were asked to vote on this proposed change. The supporting votes were unanimous!
 
So, next week, our monthly meeting on Wednesday, March 4th (and those in the future) will begin at 7 PM! If you haven’t been able to make it to a meeting recently, or you’re looking for an opportunity to check out the MVA for the first time, we hope you’ll join us next week at this new time!
 
Regular meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month (except in December, when we hold a community potluck) at 7 PM in the MVA Info Center, located at 1330 S. Fourth Street. Meetings include an agenda with updates about upcoming events and initiatives, review and discussion of any current zoning variance requests in Merion Village and a guest speaker! At the end of each meeting, the floor is open to all in attendance who have questions or information to share. MVA monthly meetings are open to the public and all are encouraged to attend!
 
We’re looking forward to our 3rd monthly meeting of 2020 and we hope to see you there!

As we enter a new year, the MVA newsletter is getting a makeover. We will now publish neighborhood and community updates through this blog! The change in format will allow us to share information more frequently, ensuring members and neighbors are kept up to date on the latest news from the MVA.
 
You can read the blog on our website at www.merionvillage.org/blog and can subscribe to a weekly email digest of our newest posts.
 
We plan to share information related to MVA initiatives and events, guest speakers from our monthly meetings, biography spotlights highlighting members of our community and guest articles written by our neighbors! We’d love to hear from you if you have suggestions for additional content that you feel would be of interest. Email us at blog@merionvillage.org if you have suggestions or are interested in authoring an article!
 
Thank you for taking the time to check out our new blog and for being an active member of the community!
