Memo from the Board



Our Community Loses a Leader


Dear Members & Neighbors,


The Downtown Neighborhood Association Board is deeply saddened to notify the community of Miles Grove's death. Miles passed away late Sunday afternoon, March 7, and sincere sympathy goes out to his family.  We all knew Miles and his dedication to the neighborhood was highly respected by neighbors, business owners, residents and local government officials throughout the entire city.  He was regarded as a visionary leader by anyone who ever worked with him.


Miles's contributions to our neighborhood and the DNA, since its inception four years ago, will not be forgotten.  His dedicated and selfless service was the crucial force behind the downtown area's continued positive growth and harmony with the residents.  More specifically, Miles was a key player in our communication with the Council and the Mayor, a voice we would not have had if not for his leadership. His contributions to this association and neighbor will not be forgotten. He will be missed by many


A special event in his memory will be held on March 24. Details are below.


With our deepest sympathy,


The Board of Directors
