MHNA's New Office & Logistics Manager

David Kennedy-Logan, our office manager for most of 2017, has left MHNA to take on a full-time position. We wish him continued success.

In December, we hired Thomas Jahn as our new Office and Logistics Manager. Originally from Staten Island, Tom has lived in Minnesota for nearly twenty years, and has been a recognizable figure in Dinkytown—having formerly worked at Magus Books, and now at the well-known Book House—for some time now. Please welcome him to the Marcy-Holmes Neighborhood Association!
Happy New Year,

I am happy to be the new Office and Logistics Manager for the Marcy-Holmes Neighborhood Association. I've worked in the neighborhood for five years now and have been a frequent visitor to the shops and restaurants since moving to Minnesota eighteen years ago. It is a pleasure to be able to give something back by facilitating the work the Board of Directors and all MHNA members do on behalf of all Marcy-Holmes residents and their guests.

I encourage everyone who lives in Marcy-Holmes—renters and homeowners—to become members and to get involved with the work of MHNA. I look forward to meeting and working with everyone in the new year.
Tom
