October 9th, 2009

Hello Neighbors!

Our October 5th meeting had an unusually small turnout, most likely because I forgot to send out a group email to remind people. (Also there was an event at the Cascade that drew several neighbors.) We had planned to conduct a survey to help us derive a mission statement for our group, but we decided to postpone this until the next meeting in hope of a bigger turnout. So mark your calendars for November 2nd! To make it very easy and painless, we want to spend about 15-20 minutes on the survey, collect your ideas, and then compile a mission statement to vote on and fine-tune wording at the following meeting. The mission statement will allow us to focus our energy where you all would like to see it happen!

Our second Neighborhood Cleanup Day is tomorrow, Saturday, October 10th! Those who are available and able, meet in my driveway - 795 Lincoln St at 10 am with some gloves. We'll provide bags, maps, and pickers. It will not be strenuous! The idea is to walk the neighborhood, greet people and invite them to our potluck and get to know each other. It's also nice to pick up a little litter along the way, of course! Please encourage everyone to join us for the potluck at 1 pm. We're keeping it simple and there will be some raffle prizes! Grab a neighbor and join us! - 795 Lincoln St.

I'll update you with a photo of our potluck group next week! Thanks for your interest, support, and enthusiasm. It keeps me going and it has been so wonderful to get to know more of you. We have a great community and it has even more potential. It is and will be what we want it to be!

Stay tuned!

Monique
