Google Maps recognizes Phoenix Central Neighborhood Association as a Favorite Place on Google

Congratulations! You have made Phoenix Central Neighborhood Association a Favorite Place on Google. Between July 1 and September 30, Google users found Phoenix Central Neighborhood Association listed 5547 times, and requested driving directions or other information about our association 216 times.

Because we are so popular, Google provided a decal that shows citizens we are a Favorite Place on Google. The sticker includes a special bar code that citizens may scan with cameras on their phones. Then they can see Phoenix Central Neighborhood Association listings on Google, read and write reviews, and be added as a favorite right there. Our office is located in the Executive Towers Condominiums at 207 W. Clarendon Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85013. Stop by and visit the facility and ask the office manager, Cindy Lee or one of the front desk attendants if you can capture the special bar code from the sticker. We have placed it on the condo resident bulletin board in the mail room adjacent to the lobby.

Send us an email at Info@PhoenixCentral.org if you have problems.

We look forward to providing you with more and better ways to grow the Phoenix Central Neighborhood Association.

Imagine Phoenix in 2050

The city of Phoenix is about to begin a very important project and we need your help. Every ten years Arizona State Law requires cities to update their general plans. The General Plan provides comprehensive direction for the growth, conservation and redevelopment of all physical aspects of the city through goals, policies and recommendations. This document is intended to be both long range and visionary and to provide guidance for actions over a long period of time. This project will be broken into two phases. Phase I - visioning, and Phase II - policy plan development. Phase I will kick off on October 5, 2009 and continue through June, 2010. Phase II will begin in September, 2010 and continue through September, 2011. The plan will be presented to the public for approval at an election in September, 2012.

Visit the Phoenix Central Neighborhood Association calendar page at www.PhoenixCenral.org/Calendar.html for specific workshop dates. The boundaries of the Phoenix Central Neighborhood Association (Indian School to Thomas Roads and 7th Avenue and 3rd Street) is assigned to the Encanto Village. A schedule for all villages can be viewed by visiting www.PhoenixCentral.org/village.pdf.

A different activity will be held each month. At the end of each workshop, more details will be provided regarding the activity for the next workshop. You are encouraged to share this list of meeting dates with your friends and neighbors and ask them to attend. These workshops are open to the public.

At the first workshops in October, you will be asked the question "What do you value most about Phoenix, and why?" To help answer this question, ask yourself how you came to be in Phoenix. Were you born here? Did you move here? What attracted you to Phoenix? What keeps you here? What stands out to you as a special moment, event or feeling during the time you have lived in Phoenix? WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! If you are not able to attend a workshop, please emai your response to planphx@phoenix.gov.

THANK YOU!!!

Farmers Insurance Group and Central High School Forge Partnership

The Michael S. Astemborski Insurance Agency has adopted Central High School as part of Farmers Insurance Group’s “High School Sports Game Plan Program”. Specifically, the Michael S. Astemborski Insurance Agency will sponsor and help offset the financial costs associated with maintaining the Central High boys’ golf team, the boys’ soccer team, and the boys’ tennis team. In addition, the Michael S. Astemborski Insurance Agency has graciously offered to bolster academics at Central through supporting the International Studies Magnet Program.

According to Michael Astemborski, “Sports and the Magnet Program at Central High School were a major part of my sons’ high school experiences. Now, the opportunity to support these programs at Central High School is very exciting.”

The principal of Central, Chris Jones, welcomes this type of partnership with the business community. “This is very exciting! I look forward to strengthening our ties with Farmers Insurance. We’re thankful for Michael Astemborski’s dedication to our students and Central High School”.

2009 Central Football Preview

The Central Bobcats Football program is gearing up for what should be a successful season. The Bobcats were 1-9 last year, with mostly sophomores filling the roster. The offseason has been going well for us, and we are looking for a different attitude this year. Most of my sophomores and juniors that had a huge contribution to the team last year are back again this year.

We will continue to work hard in the weight room, as well as the film room.

Another important piece to our success this year will be us going to camp, up in snowflake this summer. I believe camp is very important for team bonding, and developing leadership. It’s time for Central Football to resurface on the map.

My coaching staff has been putting in a lot of work this offseason and it’s showing in the players, we will continue to strive for excellence, and work towards making our school and community proud to be a Bobcat.
