    CdM Residents Association Needs You!

    The Corona del Mar Residents Association (CdMRA) was created in 1987 to provide a unified
    voice on issues which impact all residential neighborhoods located in Zip Code 92625 (over
    6600 households).  CdMRA utilizes a variety of communication tools, educational workshops
    and outreach programs to accomplish that goal.  

This volunteer organization works diligently to protect, preserve and improve our community's quality of life.  The
larger our membership, the more effective we can be.

Be informed.  Be involved.  Support CdMRA through your membership.  Over 90% of our dues go toward the
printing and mailing of our newsletters, and the balance is spent on our Town Meetings.  We recognize that our
members enjoy receiving our printed newsletters and attending our meetings.  But without your financial support,
we won't be able to continue our outreach efforts as they are today.

If you are already a member, please renew.  If you are not yet a member, please consider joining.  Membership is
$20 each calendar year.  If you need to check on your membership status, simply send us an email and we'll reply.  
Applications and Renewal Forms can be found on our website (click here).  Your privacy is protected and secure.  
We look forward to hearing from you.

2010 Goals for CdMRA

The Board of Directors will be meeting in January to determine goals and focus for 2010.  We welcome your ideas
and suggestions.  Please send us an email with your ideas.

And don't forget, your 2010 Membership Dues are now payable.  Drop your check for $20 in the mail, or if you have
online banking, simply add us as an annual payee and save the stamps!

                                      Leaf Blower Poll - February 2010
    City Council Study Session - February 9, 2010 @ 5:00 pm
                             
                              The City's Environmental Quality Affairs Committee (EQAC) has been studying noise and     
                              pollution issues created in communities like Corona del Mar where homes are in close
                              proximity to each other.  They have also been looking at what other cities have done to curb
                              and/or control the noise and pollution leaf blowers generate.

                         Solicitor Update - February 2010
    While limited by Freedom of Speech protections for solicitors, there are a few things the City can do
    to tighten its existing ordinance governing commercial solicitors.  City Council directed the City
    Attorney's Office to recommend changes that would strengthen the ordinance, including looking into
    a City "Do Not Solicit" Register.  They will not be able, however, to restrict hours.  Solicitors are
    currently allowed in our neighborhoods between 8:00 am and 9:00 pm, seven days a week.

We will continue to post updates on this important issue as they become available, including the next City Council
review of the Solicitor Ordinance proposed changes.  To read the January 2010 staff report, click here.
