COMMUNICATION
by Paul Olsen

One of the most important things a neighborhood group does is inform its stakeholders. HVNA is no different. Our major expense each year is the bimonthly production of The Hayes Valley Voice and the alternating announcement flyers. These publications are backed up with on-line versions on our website, and emailed announcements to those on our list.

In our efforts to keep people informed, and become informed ourselves, we deliver newsletters to all addresses within our borders, including the teachers and staff at John Muir Elementary School, to SFUSD offices, and to officials and agencies at City Hall.

Voice Editor Paul Olsen gets a little help collating

None of this would be possible without the help of our writers and photographers, our collating team, our graphic artist William Ulrich, our webmaster Kassim Visram, our distribution coordinator Richard Johnson, and the many people who volunteer to distribute newsletters to their neighbors: Lee Jewell, Stefan Hastrup, Jim Warshell, Sarah Young, Karen Mauney-Brodek, Frances Neagley, Ana Canillas, Hank Osten, John Phillips, Chris Pederson, Jamie Lopez, Bill Bulkley, Nick Bell, Nathan Lozier, Lynn Friedman, Jason Henderson, Clarence Mayers, Doug Prudden, Robin Levitt, Adam Millard-Ball, Mike Willemsen, Paul Olsen, Richard Johnson and Guy Berryessa.

Please join me in thanking them for making sure we’re up to date. If you would like to join our communications committee, help with our website, contribute articles or photos, help us collate or deliver the newsletter, please contact me at voice@hayesvalleysf.org.
