Marty Thoennes from CABA talked to us about the CABA parade on Sat. Sept. 12th. Our group is invited to enter a float or have some participants. Patty is unable to attend but asked for volunteers to carry our banner.

Officer Rodriguez from Community Policing brought us up to date on happenings in our area. As usual graffiti and home burglaries are our top problems. He reminded everyone that if you have any incidents that don’t seem right, call the police.

CHWC is offering a $300.00 grant for our neighborhood. It was decided that we would use it for the Halloween event originating on 17th street and spreading to adjacent streets.

We still haven’t made any progress with the Community Garden. Tom Lally was going to contact Youth Builders to see if they would be willing to help us get started by building a fence.
