# OF CURRENT MEMBERS

LAS TIERRAS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION - MISSION

To develop a community identity; To promote its quality of life, namely the health, safety and welfare of our neighborhoods; and to participate in the political process as it pertains to our community in the city and county of El Paso, TX. by providing a conduit for clear communication between our community and our political leaders.

This and That from Colleen

July 1st our Membership Discount Program begins. We are partnering with area businesses to provide discounts when you shop at their businesses…..FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR! This Program will be in effect from July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008. BUT YOU MUST HAVE A VALID LTNA MEMBERSHIP CARD TO PARTICIPATE!

HOW DO YOU GET YOUR MEMBERSHIP CARD?

If you are already a member, you need to renew your membership dues NOW!
There are 2 reasons why:
1. We need to get all membership dues inline with our fiscal year.
2. We need to make your membership cards and this allows us to put an expiration date that will be good for the duration of the program.

If you are not a member of LTNA, join us now and receive the benefits of this program! By showing your membership card when you shop at the participating businesses, you can get a discount or freebie. We will be emailing out to everyone a directory of the participating businesses and the discounts they are giving to you. It will also be on our LTNA website.

Sincerely,
Colleen Lewis
President, Las Tierras Neighborhood Association
