neighborhood news 1

Dear neighbors,
I haven't written for some time - happy springtime to you! Attached is a newsletter from Charlie - a teenager in the 'hood who chairs a very active environmental club. Please read for some ideas for helping the environment that you can do.

I'm also writing to propose a meeting on Tuesday, April 8th to discuss a warm weather party and entryway projects and anything else going on the 'hood. Can you attend a meeting from 7:30 to 8:30 to help plan a party? Remember, we will only do this if enough interest and participation is shown for the planning meeting first! Good parties take some work to prepare. I will look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you,
Carol Pfister

neighborhood news

Good morning, neighbors!
I just wanted to report that we had a delightful progressive dinner on the weekend! We had about 38 people come, including several new neighbors. As always, we all came away feeling like we live in a great place with the nicest people. (:  We missed those of you who couldn't come - hopefully we can catch you next year.

There was a lot of talk about having a warm weather/ backyard party this year. I'm willing to start the organizing of one but I will need a committee to do most of the work. I have a son graduating from HS this year so my spring time will be extra busy! Please watch for a notice of a meeting in late March or April to plan this event. We have also had a suggestion of meeting with a speaker about gardening which we can talk about at that time too. You know, this group is called the GK garden club...we used to do some garden type events. I would love to get back to our "roots" again. (:

One other suggestion from the dinner was forming a book club! Please let me know if you would be interested in joining a group. Or if there are some clubs existing in the 'hood, let me know that too so we can help each other.

Thanks and enjoy our warm weather this week...spring is coming!
