Joanne
Clausen District 2 2011 Neighbor of the Year
The
District 2 Community Council is proud to nominate Joanne Clausen to the 2012 Neighborhood
Honor Roll. District 2 Council members nominate and vote on up to three candidates
who they feel have made outstanding contributions to the community and made District
2 a better place to live. The Neighborhood Honor Roll is a citywide award to honor
people who improve the quality of life in Saint Paul. A celebration honoring nominees
from all 17 district councils was held at the University of St. Thomas on January
20.
As
a long time East Side resident, Joanne has been nominated to the Honor Roll to
recognize her ongoing commitment to preserve historic housing in the District
2 area. Joanne has worked to have the Ames House recognized as being home to William
Ames, who played a large part in St. Paul’s early school system and real
estate development. Joanne is also a block leader and frequent volunteer for the
Northeast Neighborhoods Block Nursing program.
What
is a Community Council?
In
a large city like Saint Paul it is easy to feel like you don't have a say in the
decisions that affect you. Community Councils are a way to give residents a voice
in the decisions that affect their neighborhoods and our city.
District
2 is one of Saint Paul's 17 planning districts. We are located in the northeast
corner of St. Paul. Our boundaries are: Larpenteur Ave. on the north; McKnight
Road on the east; Minnehaha Ave. to the south; and Johnson Parkway and the old
Burlington Northern railroad berm to the west.
Each
of the city's planning districts has a Community Council as its official citizen
participation organization. District 2 Community Council is your neighborhood
organization. We are not part of city government-although we often cooperate with
the city and police in addressing problems.
