Midvale Messenger
Newsletters
A not-for-profit corporation.
The Midvale Heights Community Association publishes a bi-monthly newsletter, the
Midvale Messenger, which is distributed to all the Midvale Heights residents. When the Midvale Messenger is published, each of the Area Directors gets the copies for their area. The Area Directors then distribute the Messengers to the Block Captains, and the Block Captains distribute them to the households on their block.
