Fleetwood Neighborhood Association News! State of the City Address

[Susan Granata]

Dear Neighbors,
 
We had a great turnout for our meeting last week, though it was
disappointing to see everyone leaving as the other speakers were getting
ready to inform us!  
 
The Planning Department has extended the deadline for community surveys
until April 30, 2009.  If you haven't done so already, please visit
www.planmv.com to fill out a survey and be a part of the Comprehensive Plan
process.  A number of issues were addressed at this meeting, and Mr.
Williams suggested we plan a "Field Walk" with the commissioners of city
hall, so that they can really see what we are talking about (Foreclosed
Homes in Disrepair, dangerous intersections, broken sidewalks, the parking
garage, etc.)
 
Just to recap, H&R Block is ready and willing to do your taxes! They offer
many deals and discounts, and will donate $25.00 to the Fleetwood
Neighborhood Association for every member that files their taxes with them.
So go file your taxes! It's good for your community!  
 
Sunrise Senior Living offers a number of programs, residence options, and
more for the community.  They are located on No. Columbus Avenue, just at
California Road, sharing grounds with the Sinai Free Synagogue.  Stop by
there, and ask for Abby Peretz.  She will be happy to give you a tour and
show you what amazing things are going on.  
 
Finally, the Mount Vernon Relay for Life is on June 12-13, 2009 at Memorial
Field.  There are a number of exciting activities planned surrounding this
event.  Susan is looking to field a FNA team! If you're interested, please
email her at susan at fleetwoodneighbors.org.  If we get at least 15 people,
we'll go for it! 
 
I have received notification that the State of the City Address will take
place on Wednesday, March 25, at 7:00 p.m. at City Council Chambers.  I hope
a number of you can make it there!  I can't make it, so if anyone attends,
will you email me notes/highlights so I can help spread the word?  Thanks!!
 
Check out our website www.fleetwoodneighbors.org for a number of exciting
events and programs that are going on in the coming months! Spring is here,
folks, and we are ALL springing into action!
 
Calling all Scrapbookers! I have found about 10 years worth of memorabilia
for the FNA - I would love to have it in a scrapbook and bring it to our
events...but alas -  my crafting skills are nil!  Anyone interested in
taking on the project? Supplies will be paid for by the FNA! I know you're
out there, closet Martha Stewarts!!
 
 
Take care!
 
Susan
