Thursday, April 18th at 11:00am we will be supporting LaMonna in her initial Highland Street Cleanup. We are going to take advantage of the fact that children are on vacation this week.
If you can come and help out our youngest Street Cleaning Captain; we would love to have you. Please bring your own gloves, bags and a few tools. The meeting place is 283 Highland @ 11:00am.
Saturday, April 6th proved to be a great day for our Architecture Event. There was food, music, and conversations about the vision for Lilac Street and beyond.
There is a free event sponsored by our neighbors at the Yale Forestry School on Prospect Street. It will take place Saturday, April 6th from 10 to 3. To register, go to: http://bit.ly/gcwl.
Please congratulate our youngest Street Cleaning Captain Volunteer! This is LaMonna; an industrious young lady who is the Street Cleaning Captain for Highland Street.
Street Cleanups have been organized for Cave, Read, Huntington, Lilac, Highland and Winchester. Volunteers needed for other streets; please email newhallville.community.matters@gmail.com. We will be sending out the dates and raindates for our future cleanups.
All Newhallville residents are encouraged to join your neighbors this Saturday, 4/6 on Lilac Street for a community event.
From 10am to 4pm, you will be able to have your opinions about Newhallville documented in a one-of-a-kind mapping event. And while this is a new concept for our neighborhood, it has been successfully done here.
