Dear Mark Twain Neighborhood Business

At a special meeting of the Mark Twain Neighborhood Association on Saturday March 15th, a large gathering of members voted unanimously to modify bylaws and boundaries of the Association to include all residents and businesses located north of Constitution, south of I-40 and between San Pedro and Louisiana. Now formally recognized by the City’s Office of Neighborhood Coordination (ONC), we are pleased to welcome this almost doubling of the Association’s size and to announce some further initiatives.

We expect to launch within this month a website to provide all residents, on a 24/7 basis, with current information and practical resources. One section of the website will be a “directory” of the businesses within our borders, located along San Pedro, Lomas, and Louisiana. This listing will be free of charge and will encourage our residents to both know and patronize your business. To that end, we would be grateful to receive from you the following:

• Business Name
• Business Logo
• Business Address & Contact info (phone #, website)
• Short description of service(s) offered
• Hours of operation

The information can be sent to jaemes1@mac.com or, if in a brochure or document can be picked up from you.

The Albuquerque Neighborhood Association Regulation Ordinance (NARO) requires residents and businesses to formally affirm membership in the Association each year to have voting rights on issues put before members (elections, bylaw amendments, etc.). No payment of dues is required; donations are voluntary. Formal membership is not required to attend meetings or receive announcements.

Membership lists and resident information is not shared outside the Association…..…ever.

The 2025 Business Membership Affirmation Form is below. Completed signed form can be mailed or emailed with scan or phone photo to me at Bardean12@comcast.net with cc: to Treasurer Michele Benton mkbenton@swcp.com and Board Member Jaemes Shanley jaemes1@mac.com.
