In executing the mission of the Roselawn Community Council, to advance the
quality of life in the neighborhood, the Community Council has employed a
number of strategies to engage, inform, and mobilize the imagination and action
of our community: business owners, their employees, and their customers,
residents, and potential developers.
The following listing categorizes RCC efforts over the past few years into
"Business District" and "Park." It is important to note that we see the
viability and fate of the residential, business, and recreational areas as
inextricably intertwined at a core level. Thus, those efforts that specifically
promote the Business District without doubt contribute to the ambiance of the
residential portion of the neighborhood. Likewise, Blockwatch and
Beautification, and individual homeowner property care, sustain our
neighborhood's positive image for customers and investors who frequent our
Business District.
Public facilities like the Ball Fields at Roselawn Park draw local as well as
regional guests to Roselawn. Roselawn Park contains significant potential for
promoting our neighborhood as a desirable place to live, work, or visit. Thus,
our ongoing investment in the space at Roselawn Park demonstrates that we view
it as a critical element in defining the quality of life in Roselawn, for our
residents as well as the large numbers of guests who attend tournament and
championship games held at the facility. While geographically contained within
Roselawn, we see and promote Roselawn Park as an important aesthetic and
recreational resource for three neighborhoods: Bond Hill, Golf Manor and
Roselawn.
Our purpose in publishing this information is to expand the spectrum of our
informed audience, from funders and developers to individual citizens. We seek
your active participation as beneficiaries and protagonists in our efforts to
promote the quality of life in Roselawn.
