Hey Friends!
Autumn has arrived which means pumpkins spice flavors, Halloween decor, and best of all for NFNA, The Fall social event! Come meet your neighbors as we provide a delicious meal and celebrate our small community.
Would you like the opportunity to get more involved with your community, both in the neighborhood and beyond? Would you like the chance to connect with more of your neighbors? Do you think of yourself as an organized person? If you answered yes to any of these questions you may be interested in joining the board of the North-Florence Neighborhood Association. We have multiple seats opening up this year and would love to see some fresh faces step up to help build strong ties within our community. Potential positions are: president, vice president, and treasurer. If you have any questions about the positions feel free to reach out to one of the officers at the social.
Not sure if your ready to join the board, but still want to get involved with the neighborhood? Consider joining a committee. We are always looking for extra help with welcoming new folks, keeping our boulevard beautiful, and making sure there are fun events for folks to engage in.

Quarterly Poem
Song of the Witches: “Double, double toil and trouble” By William Shakespeare (from Macbeth)
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg and howlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon’s blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.
Around the Block
Here is a space where you can thank your neighbors for a helping hand, congratulate someone on a job well done, or give kudos to someone you saw doing a good deed.
If you would like to submit your joke, poem, or feel good story to NFNA Quarterly, please send it to Timothy Albertson at timothy.albertson@proton.me
