If you are a member of DPPA, have email, and would like to be part of online discussions of local issues, email DuluthPPA@yahoo.com, and ask to be added to DPPA-Talk. There, you'll find conversation about all sorts of open-government and planning issues, with a smattering these days of talk about what's happening nationally. DPPA-Alert offers an alternative email group that carries only action alerts. You need not be a DPPA member to be on DPPA-Alert. To join DPPA-Alert, email DuluthPPA@yahoo.com. Where's Nancy's Tree? A Northern Pin Oak was scheduled in October to be planted in Duluth's Lake Place Park to honor Nancy Nelson, DPPA's 2002 Civic Activist of the Year. At the last moment, however, the selected tree was determined not to be mature enough for planting, so the ceremony has been rescheduled for the spring. Please stand by for more information! The DPPA Yearly ``Extravaganza!'' and Annual DPPA Meeting If you've ever attended DPPA's yearly ``Spaghetti Dinner Extravaganza! and Annual Meeting,'' you know all about the fun: Great food. Superb live music. Children's activities. Fab speeches. And a silent auction good enough to make you weep. Plus, the opportunity for DPPA members to vote on DPPA elections and other DPPA issues. Before we know it, it'll be April again, and time once more for this event. This year, it'll be held on April 11. Please mark those crisp, new 2003 calendars! And come prepared to vote on changes to the DPPA Bylaws that are intended to sharpen DPPA's focus on open government and responsible city planning, plus, to create separate board positions for DPPA Secretary and Treasurer.
