Meetings
JHAA meetings are held on the second Monday of every month at 6:30pm at St.
Mark's United Methodist Church on Azalea Road.
The neighborhood issues portion of the meeting generally runs 45-60 minutes.
If we have a
guest speaker, or if we wish to discourse among ourselves on a special topic
or pressing issue, another 15-30 minutes of meeting time may be
allotted.
We invite neighborhood residents to suggest themes, topics or guest speakers for the second
half of the meetings, or to volunteer themselves to speak about an area in which they
have expertise.
JHAA Members: To help out with neighborhood projects or to ask questions,
contact the JHAA at
jacksonheightsmobile@gmail.com. Or you may prefer to post your email
message on the JHAAMobile Yahoo discussion
forum.
Include in the subject line of the email the topic about which you are
interested.
Guest Speakers
At many of our meetings, we will have a guest speaker give a presentation or
speech on a particular topic. The guest presentation must focus on
information rather than on rhetoric or advertisement, although the
meeting obviously provides the speaker with an opportunity to touch upon
his/her platform or business. Members may participate in a Q&A session
during or after the speaker's presentation.
Example: A guest speaker from an alarm company is allowed to speak about
home security and safety in general, offer suggestions and tips (such as
putting indoor lights on timers, keeping exterior lights on in doorways,
etc.) and generally discuss the benefits of having an alarm system over not
having one, without specifically promoting his/her products or services.
After the meeting has adjourned, the speaker may then hand out business
cards or flyers about the company's offerings.
Note: The JHAA does not endorse candidates for government or other office, nor does it recommend any business,
product or
line of action presented by guest speakers. Guest speakers are merely
given a forum for our members to ask questions and gain information about
the speaker's area of expertise. Promotions/sales must be confined to
informal discussions after the meeting has concluded.
If you would like to be a speaker at (or recommend a speaker for) our next
meeting, send an email to
jacksonheightsmobile@gmail.com with your name, contact info and the topic you
would like to discuss or hear discussed.
