RARA's 50th Anniversary Lane Naming Project
In celebration of RARA's 50th Anniversary we are embarking on an initiative to name the lanes in our neighbourhood.
We are accepting suggestions from the community on this website. You will find a suggestion form with some related information on the page listed in the main website navigation called "Lane Names", or linked directly here: Lane Names
RARA Website Live
The new Rathnelly Republic website is now live on the domain. We will be updating content over time and migrating some of the historical documents and writing from the old site to the new. Any content from the old site can be found at http://archived.rathnellyrepublic.com.
We are also currently looking into options for payment processing on the site in order to collect 2017 annual membership fees.
An idea which came up last night at the AGM was to add a form to the website to collect Lane Name ideas. That form is now on the Local Politics page.
AGM minutes for 2015 and 2016 will be posted shortly.
If you have not signed up for the RARA newsletter please do on the RARA page in the subscription form. That form automatically connects to our Mailchimp email system. Make sure to click the confirmation email in your inbox from Mailchimp after the form submission to finalize the signup.
An email will be setup shortly for any website issues or ideas.
