Letter from the Editors
With this inaugural edition of CV News, we’re introducing a different format, with several new features aimed at building community. Our goals are to inform residents about what’s going on at CV, connect neighbors to each other, and foster involvement with the surrounding neighborhood. With such an abundance of talent and accomplishment among us, we will recognize one resident each issue with a brief profile. Also included is a community calendar of events, as well as a featured area business or two.
Classified advertisements are now unified in one section at the end. We also wanted to alert everyone to the newly launched website for Castle Village, designed by resident Bob and Bri Matsuoka. Eventually, CV News will be published mainly online (with hard copies for those residents who prefer paper). We urge residents to visit the site—it’s visually clean, user-friendly, and has great pictures and information.
In this edition, readers will find photographs of the reopened children’s playground; a column by the newly convened and already very active Events Committee; a profile, in memorium, of beloved, long-term resident Stanley Michels; and brief features on the YM&YWHA and the art gallery around the corner on 181st. Many thanks go out to Claire Stoddard for so wonderfully managing All Around the Village, the precursor to CV News, for these past seven years. We wish her the best in her new residence up the street.
