Our Neighborhood Organizes
In September 2012, seven Twin Palms residents united as a “Neighborhood Organization Formation Committee” to seek official recognition for their district by the city of Palm Springs. Following several weeks of promoting the proposal, 70 neighbors and City officials gathered for a formation meeting at which the intent to organize was declared and the benefits and responsi
bilities of the action were presented and discussed. By March, the neighborhood was ready for its organizational meeting at which bylaws were adopted, an advisory board and slate of officers were elected, and signatures were collected from residents to petition the City for official status. The Twin Palms Neighborhood Organization received formal certification on March 13, 2013. Our borders encompass more than 800 owners, residents, and enterprises. About two dozen members serve our vibrant committees that collectively provide opportunities for socializing and expressing civic responsibility, maximizing security and quality of life, preserving and promoting our neighborhood history, and keeping our neighbors and the City informed of our activities. Under the direction of our Blade Sign Committee, graphic artist and Twin Palms resident, Hank Hudson created the design for our neighborhood blade sign. In July 2013, the design was approved by an overwhelming majority of those attending a general membership meeting, and one week later, final approval was granted by the City. Our blade sign—and our neighborhood logo—was born.
