Dear ECC Member:
You should have recently received a packet of information regarding changes to ECC's bylaws. The packet included a letter announcing Tuesday, January 19, 2010, as the date for a general membership meeting to ratify the new bylaws. However, due to delays in delivery by the US Postal Service, most members did not even receive the packet until well after that date, and so the ECC Board has reschedule the general membership meeting for: Tuesday, February 16, at 7:00 p.m. at the ECC Office, 6044 N. Broadway
As a member of ECC, you are therefore entitled to vote on the proposed bylaws at this general meeting. Please note that attendance is optional, not mandatory. If you have not received a copy of the bylaws or have already recycled them and would like to request another copy, please visit our website at www.EdgewaterCommunityCouncil.org or call the ECC Office at (773) 334-5609.
Sincerely, Edgewater Community Council

ECC Welcomes New Housing Director
Five decades after neighborhood housing issues led to its creation by concerned 
residents and religious leaders, the Edgewater Community Council is pleased to introduce Derick Anderson as its new Director of Housing. A native of Chicago's south side and graduate of the Chicago Public Schools, Derick worked in broadcasting for several years before joining the Organization of the North East as a housing organizer and volunteer and later interning for both 48th Ward Alderman Mary Ann Smith and Illinois State Sen. Heather Steans.
"We are thrilled to have Derick join the ECC staff," said Executive Director Jason Liechty. "With his passion for Edgewater and knowledge of community housing and social issues, Derick will be a great asset to ECC and the people we serve."
In addition to his part-time position as ECC's director of housing, Derick is pursuing an urban geography degree at Northeastern Illinois University and serves on Goudy Elementary's Local School Council.
Derick can be reached at the ECC office at (773) 381-1345 or anderson@edgewatercommunitycouncil.org.
For Sale: The Classic Piece of Mid-Century Modern Furniture ECC Didn't Know It Had
"Most people--particularly those who work at nonprofit organizations like ECC--don't have a $17,000 piece of furniture in their office."
—ECC Executive Director Jason Liechty
Lake Effect News editor Lorraine Swanson tells the story of the unusual discovery that ECC Executive Director Jason Liechty made shortly after he started work this summer: a sleek mahogany-and-marble credenza by design icon Florence Knoll.
A new version of the piece, which Knoll still manufactures, would run you $17,000....but ECC's can be yours for much less! The credenza is available for viewing by appointment. Call ECC at 773-334-5609 or e-mail credenza@EdgewaterCommunityCouncil.org for more information.
