Fairmount named winner at NUSA

The Fairmount neighborhood competed this year at the Neighborhood's USA conference held in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Neighborhoods competed for awards based on neighborhood projects.

Awards are given and recognize exceptional accomplishments by neighborhood organizations and judging is based on the extent of innovation, grassroots participation and capacity building exhibited by the nominated organization. You can visit NUSA online at  http://www.nusa.org to find out more or 'like' their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/NeighborhoodsUSA

This year Fairmount entered the Multi-Neighborhood Participation category with the Back to School Event that was organized by Brenda Howell in August 2012. Today, at the conference, Brenda and Fairmount was awarded first place in that category for the event.

 Newsletters were also recognized, and Stacy Luecker won GOLD for the Fairmount newsletter for the 2012 color Home Tour and the follow-up issue.

Congratuations to both Brenda and Stacy and to our great neighborhood. YAY, Fairmount!
