"The Alliance, as its newsletter masthead proclaims, truly is: The Free Voice of Mount Washington!  The Alliance formed when it became obvious to us that we needed a community association that aspired to listen to the community, to work for the overall public good, and to provide empowerment by embracing greater member participation.  The Alliance is such an organization because it seeks input from members, requires high ethical performance of its leaders, and encourages new activists in the community.  The Alliance is a new spirit of community!"

"With my interest in public life and neighborhood issues, the Alliance has provided an artistic outlet for me as a new activist in Mount Washington to be visually creative in order to organize like-minded community residents."

"When a developer first proposed to cram 7 houses into about an acre of land at the bottom of Red Hawk Canyon, the Alliance helped our street organize, monitor, and work to defeat this ill-conceived development. No one on the Alliance board of directors is working to further the interests of such a developer and that peace of mind for the community is priceless."

"As a long-time community activist, I have seen our community come together in the Alliance for preservation of dwindling open space and natural habitat, and collaborative neighborhood improvement."

"I like to go to the picnic.  The dessert table is my favorite.  I see our friends there.  We can go every year. "
