The Scottsdale Gateway Alliance organizational meeting last Thursday night at Los Sombreros was a tremendous success. We appreciate your participation in the first of many more gatherings to share great ideas, collect input from neighbors and businesses in Southern Scottsdale, and initiate real change in the McDowell Corridor.

We are appreciative of your involvement and are grateful for the participation of Scottsdale City Council members Suzanne Klapp and Virginia Korte. Our group was encouraged to hear about their continued commitment to Southern Scottsdale and their willingness to work with SGA to give our businesses and neighborhoods a stronger voice at City Hall.

We also want to give a very special thank you to Dana Close, for her extraordinary coordination of neighborhood and grassroots activities for SGA. Dana’s enthusiasm and energy is a real asset in making SGA more visible to opinion leaders, investors, and community stakeholders.

Once again … thank you for volunteering to help SGA restore Southern Scottsdale’s promise, economic prosperity and sense of pride.

Please go to our SGA Facebook page to view photos from Thursday’s event and tag yourself. And, while you’re there, leave a comment on our wall.

Let’s keep up the momentum!
