president's letter Ryan Place, Happy New Year, everyone!

As I am writing this, we’re all thawing out from the January freeze. I hope everyone avoided some of the headaches that sometimes accompany the freezing temperatures and were able to enjoy the little bit of “snow” that fell on MLK Day. RPIA took a little break following the Candlelight Christmas in Ryan Place and reconvened on January 15th

for the first board meeting of the year. We welcomed new Board members, passed the annual budget, and discussed some of the goals for 2024, which I’m capturing in the chart on page 2. I will be discussing a few of these a little further below.

Candlelight Christmas in Ryan Place 2023 Since this is our first newsletter since the Candlelight Christmas in Ryan Place, I can’t pass up the opportunity to brag on Tour Chair Jen O’Connell, the entire CCRP Committee, our tour brave homeowners, our army of dedicated volunteers, and our generous sponsors for what was an incredible weekend

New 2024 Board Members

president's letter continued... and record breaking in many respects. It was the year of MORE – more committee members, more tour stops, more volunteers, more experiences, and more profits!

Some of the specifics are included further in this edition of the newsletter.

It never gets old to see our entire community pull together each first weekend in December to showcase the best neighborhood in Fort Worth. Casey Creager and the Creager family have agreed to take the reigns for 2024, and plans are already underway for the 40th Anniversary event that will take place December 7th and 8th.

Volunteer Opportunities I want to remind everyone that our neighborhood events and improvement efforts are powered through volunteers.

There are many ways to serve the neighborhood without being on the Board. We have updated our volunteer guide, and you should see it in this edition of the newsletter. I will highlight a couple of those opportunities here:

Newsletter Ad Sales This position is part of the communications team and would involve contacting local businesses and growing the number of ads in the neighborhood newsletter to increase revenue.

Chicane Beautification The Board has allocated some funds for upgrading the chicanes on Cantey.

We need a team of folks that are interested in helping design and install landscaping to help improve their appearance.

If these opportunities or others in the volunteer guide seem like a way you would like to contribute, please email me at chriswgee@hotmail.com.

Neighborhood Safety On the evening of January 15th, Ryan Place experienced some disturbing criminal activity when a suspect (unknown at the time of publication) shot bullets into a home on Elizabeth Boulevard.

Fortunately, no one was physically harmed, but it was obviously a traumatic event.

When I learned of the incident that evening, I was in contact with Councilwoman Beck,

NPO Officer Rockwell, and NPO Supervisor Sergeant Kiser. I shared the law enforcement responses I received with the homeowners affected.

Sergeant Kiser shared that it appeared to be an isolated incident, that a Detective has been assigned, and that he would keep me updated when there was more information to share. He asked NPO Rockwell to conduct extra patrols in the area, and he indicated he would be in the area as well. They also encouraged us to share with the community that we should be calling 911 or the nonemergency line regarding any suspicious activity we see.

RPIA has recently been seeking volunteers to join the Ryan Place Citizens on Patrol Team. Citizens on Patrol volunteers serve as the “eyes and ears” of FWPD within neighborhoods. Citizens volunteer their time to actively patrol neighborhoods to watch for and report suspicious and/ or criminal activity, and FWPD provides training. If this is an area where you feel you could contribute, please contact me at chriswgee@hotmail.com and Director of Safety David Janoski at dmjanoski@hotmail. com.

Neighborhood Engagement Neighborhood events will begin to ramp up in March when temperatures begin to warm up. Save the dates for the spring Cowtown CleanUp on March 23 and the Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt on March 30th!

We’re also excited about a new engagement program called Ryan Place Family Dinners. Are you new to the neighborhood and interested in meeting more Ryan Place neighbors, but the large neighborhood gatherings really aren’t for you? Or maybe you have lived here awhile and have a Ryan Place neighbor crew you love but have been interested in branching out a little to meet some different people? If this describes you, Ryan Place is launching a neighborhood engagement program called Ryan Place Family Dinners where participants from 4 different Ryan Place households will be organized into “families.”

The goal is to help individual neighbors and/or families across the neighborhood engage and connect through

smaller “family” dinner type gatherings. Details on the program and information on how to sign up can be found in this edition of the newsletter!

Neighborhood Operation and Improvements In addition to some of the fun stuff going on, we’re also working on improvements in several areas. Jason Jones and I have been meeting with the city on a full replacement of Ryan Place street light bulbs that will be available at no cost through a federal program.

Elizabeth Milstein, Cade Lovelace, Douglas Cooper, Jen O’Connell, and I all worked on an impressive nominations package for the Fort Worth Neighborhood Awards.

Winners will be announced at the Mayor’s Neighborhood Awards on March 2, so hopefully Ryan Place will bring home some hardware this year!

Efforts to refresh Triangle Park continue, and some of you may have noticed that two trees have recently

been removed by the city at RPIA’s request in preparation for refresh efforts. The city determined the trees were dead and posed a safety hazard. I also had a productive meeting with Councilwoman Beck on January 19th on the possibilities of additional overlay protections for Ryan Place.

Conclusion The wheels of neighborhood associations can sometimes move slowly, but we have some fun and important initiatives that we’re working, and I am hoping for meaningful progress on those in 2024. We have a great team of Board members and volunteers to start the year, and I am eager to bring more Ryan Placers into the mix!

Enjoy this edition of the newsletter, and thanks to all of you who contribute newsletter content and help deliver!

Ryan Place Family Dinners Program By: Chris Gee What Is the Family Dinners Program?

Are you new to the neighborhood and interested in meeting more Ryan Place neighbors, but the large neighborhood gatherings really aren’t for you? Or maybe you have lived here awhile and have a Ryan Place neighbor crew you love but have been interested in branching out a little to meet some different people? If this describes you, Ryan Place is launching a neighborhood engagement program called Family Dinners where participants from 4 different Ryan Place households will be organized into “families.” The goal is to help individual neighbors and/or families across the neighborhood engage and connect through smaller “family” dinner type gatherings.

How Is the “Family” Created?

During the month of February, there will be a registration period. Neighbors will have the opportunity to sign up for the program and indicate whether they would like to participate as an individual, a couple, or as a family with kids. They will be able to indicate whether they would like to be matched with a “family” where the other participants are either individuals, other couples, or other families with kids. Registrants will then be randomly matched with other registrants with the goal of matching everyone according to their selection criteria.

Depending on selection criteria, a “family” could potentially consist of 4 families with kids, 4 couples, or an individual paired with two couples and a family with kids among other combinations. You get the idea!

What Happens After the “Family” is Created?

RPIA will let each registrant know that they have been assigned to a family and who is in their family. Each family will have a lead assigned. The lead will initiate contact with the “family” in March and facilitate each of the 4 family members being responsible for organizing or hosting one “family” dinner or gathering in 2024.

Are the Gatherings Required to be Dinner Parties?

No! The dinners or gatherings can be whatever the “family” or individual host decides based on the preferences and dynamic of the “family.” Maybe all 4 gatherings are dinner parties. Or maybe if you’re a “family” with kids you meet in the park for play dates. Or maybe your “family” would prefer to meet at restaurants for your gatherings. Or maybe it’s a combination of all the above! Once the “families” and leads are assigned, the “family” determines how they organize their gatherings for the year with the goal being that each family member organizes or hosts one gathering by the

Page 6 • February 2024 - www.ryanplacefortworth.com

end of 2024. Participants are responsible for covering any expenses related to the gatherings.

What Happens to the “Family” at the End of the Year?

Hopefully you’re all life-long friends! The family assignments are only for 2024. If RPIA decides to coordinate the program again in 2025, we will reshuffle the participants into new “families.” However, the 2024 families can obviously continue to gather as they wish!

Tips for Success!

RPIA is here to help as a resource to facilitate the groups and will provide ideas, inspiration, snapshots, and more highlights of the program throughout the year! Ultimately though, it will be up to your Ryan Place “Family” to make this a success. Here are some tips to keep in mind once you have been assigned to your RP “Family”: Make the Commitment - try to schedule your first dinner (or other get-together)

within the first few weeks. This will allow you to quickly learn your “family's” goals and motivators for joining the program so that you can plan your activities around this as a group.

Make it Simple - keep your plans achievable and accessible to the entire group, especially if you are including children! Come up with activities that fit within your current everyday life or accomplish a joint wish list item for everyone.

Make it Fun - don't underestimate the power of a good theme or game night! Think outside the box for a dinner cuisine or place to explore.

Stay tuned this year for inspiration to make your RP Family dinners one of the best things about 2024!

How To Sign Up: Sign up using the Google Form on the RPIA Facebook Post or accessing it using the QR code here: Or you can also email your interest in participating to chriswgee@hotmail.com.

The deadline to sign up will be February 29th, 2024.

Valentine’s Day, But First By: Christopher Ebert, Senior RPIA Columnist Another day of celebration in 2024.

Christmas is a time to celebrate family and friends. It is a season for all of us to decorate indoors and out. Valentine’s can be time to celebration our special friendship with that special friend.

In Ryan place we celebrate sometimes at thedrop-of-a-hat!

On South Adams, Halloween is the time to celebrate anyone who comes up our doors, rings the bell, and says Treat-Or-Treat.

In 2023 that happened 460 times (or the shorthand version of that) After Christmas, but before Valentine’s Day comes the Fort Worth Fat Stock Show and Rodeo. After of the cold weather of the this year’s second and third weeks of January I must review what I remember about the Rodeo.

The first rodeo at Will Rogers Memorial Center was held the year I was born. The changes at the rodeo reflect the changes in our culture. The stock show had been held in Fort Worth since 1896. First on the banks of Marine Creek then to the Fort Worth Stock Yards in the North Side Coliseum it added the rodeo events in 1918 to become the first indoor rodeo.

Back in the nineteen-fifties, I remember going to my first rodeo with my parents. My father had been given the company’s box tickets for the afternoon rodeo performance.

My sister and I were pickup up early from

Alice Carlson Elementary, this event highly unusual since most days we walked home and never left school early.

As we walked into the coliseum the company that took candid photos of people on the street snapped ours. You would mail the card given with each photo to receive your family’s picture.

No one was reminded that this was a patriotic event since we all knew it was just the rodeo.

However, during the grand entry when the American flag came by, the gentlemen did not have to be reminded to stand and remove one’s hat.

I don’t remember the rodeo announcer having to enhance the experience with vibrato about the dangers of bull riding or the sense of the competition that even as kids we knew was inherent in the rodeo events.

At the 1944 Fort Worth Rodeo Hollywood’s singing cowboy, Gene Autry, was the intermission entertainment. There may have been a country singer at my first rodeo, all I remember was that the rodeo was the main event broken into sections by the Horse Show where we tried to guess which horse and rider would win the blue ribbon.

Now each year we go to the Stock Show for the FFA Barnyard, the cow milking demonstration, several corn dogs with a funnel cake and another performance of the first indoor rodeo. A Fort Worth Family tradition.

financial update 2023 was a stellar year for the Ryan Place Improvement Association on many fronts, including the financial front. Thanks in large part to a wildly successful home tour, Ryan Place ended the year with over $88,000 of gross revenue, exceeding the amount budgeted for the year by over 50%.

Overall expenses were generally in line with budgeted amounts for the year, which allowed the Association to end 2023 with a net surplus of nearly $26,000, all of which goes towards continued support of the neighborhood’s activities and future capital projects.

To our donors, sponsors, advertisers, tourgoers, and other financial backers: thank you for your continued generosity and support of the best neighborhood in Fort Worth!

Below is a summary of RPIA’s revenues and expenses for 2023:

November Annual Meeting Summary & January Meeting Summary By: Donna Darner The RPIA board held a General Ryan Place Neighborhood meeting on Monday, November 27 at 7:00pm. Highlights from the general meeting included an overview of 2023 RPIA accomplishments with respect to board operations, social events, and service projects.

RPIA membership donations increased in 2023 and finances closed the year in good order. 2023 RPIA accomplishments included the construction of the new Daggett Park pavilion. Meeting guest NPO Bell mentioned a recent increase in vehicle burglaries and reminded everyone to be aware of surroundings, lock cars, and remove items from vehicles. Meeting guest Councilwoman Beck discussed the neighborhood overlay initiatives and street closures for Halloween. She listened to neighborhood concerns about local street racing, Hemphill striping, speed cushions, and local gun shots. President Gee presented the new RPIA Bylaws and recognized outgoing board members.

Prospective new board directors and street representatives were voted in unanimously by neighborhood attendees.

RPIA held the first board meeting of 2024 on Monday, January 15 at 7:00 pm and welcomed five new board members. The board reviewed 2023 income and expenses, and were provided on overview of the successful CCRP annual tour.

The board took action to approve the annual RPIA budget and discussed 2024 priorities and goals, which include many opportunities for social events, service engagements, and neighborhood improvement projects. March looks to be a busy month, with several new neighbor and other events planned.

The 2023 39th annual Candlelight Christmas in Ryan Place was super successful: we sold over 1,800 tickets, welcomed over 2,000 guests, profited over $40,000 for Ryan Place, supported local businesses, deepened vital relationships and HAD FUN. None of that would have been possible without everyone’s contributions.

I am so very grateful to the Home Tour Committee, all our Homeowners, all of our Volunteers, Daggett Elementary teachers, principal and PTA, all of our Business Sponsors, all of our music and art partners, all of our In-Kind Donors, all of our vendors, and St. John’s Church.

If you weren’t able to be a part of it this year, mark your calendars for December 7-8, 2024 for our 40th Annual Home Tour.

A special Thank You goes out to my husband Ryan & my daughters Mackenzie, Norah and Brynn for being so supportive, flexible, patient and kind to me.

And believing I could be a great leader! A million thanks.

See you at the 40th! - Jen O’Connell Page 12 • February 2024 - www.ryanplacefortworth.com

Ryan Place Community Service Corner By: Andy Deufel As part of our ongoing mission to create awareness and connection throughout our neighborhood to community service opportunities across Tarrant County, our committee thought it would be helpful to spotlight a family and the organization they support.

For our inaugural article, we chose the O’Connell family and the commitment they have made to support the Welman Project.

I sat down recently with Jen and Ryan, and their three daughters, Mackenzie, Brynn, and Norah to talk about their support of the Welman Project.

What led you to this service opportunity?

items that are donated to make sure they work before they are put on the shelf. We also get to process the donations when someone brings stuff in to the store and then put items on the shelves.

How did you feel about the opportunity to support the Welman Project initially?

Brynn: I wasn’t that excited about it. Mainly because I didn’t know what it was going to be about.

Mackenzie: No one was excited.

Norah: It’s the first day of summer break and it’s 7am and we are doing something I know nothing about.

Jen: I heard about the Welman Project initially through my involvement with Daggett Elementary/Middle? PTA. Representatives from the Welman Project came to a meeting this past spring? and talked about who they were and what they needed. I liked the idea of being able to provide free school supplies for teachers, whether they be teaching at the elementary, middle, or high school level.

How do you feel about it now?

How often do you go?

Why is it important to serve the Welman Project?

Jen: We started going this past summer as the girls schedule permitted.

What kinds of things do you get to do?

Mackenzie, Norah, and Brynn: We get to sort school supplies and test out electronic

Brynn: It’s really fun and I like how it supports teachers. Giving them free stuff. Sorting all sorts of things is a fun thing to do.

Mackenzie: I really enjoy being there. It’s a great atmosphere.

Norah: l like the cause. All the employees seem happy to be there. They are passionate about what they are doing.

Jen: Teachers don’t always have the budget available to buy what they need to buy. This helps them avoid paying for school supplies out of their own pocket. They also realize that reusing items helps to minimize waste. Helps teachers focus on teaching.

Page 14 • February 2024 - www.ryanplacefortworth.com

What would you tell another family looking for community service opportunities in the area?

Jen: Definitely consider the Welman Project.

They welcome children and families. Ages 15 and up may volunteer without a parent.

Kids 10 and up are welcome with parent or guardian supervision. They have easy on-line scheduling system and can record and certify hours if needed. And no special skills are required. They will train you for a needed task when you are scheduled to volunteer.

Thank you O’Connell family for your commitment to the greater good of our local community.

The Welman Project connects schools and nonprofits with the community in ways that ignite creativity, environmental activism, and social responsibility. They work with educators primarily in the Fort Worth ISD, as well as in public, private and charter schools across DFW. They are a free resource, distributing surplus materials from local companies for creative reuse in the classroom and beyond. Their mission is to Conserve, Contribute, and Create.
