A Message from Mary Pat Clarke

                           Message from Mary Pat Clarke

 

Dear 14^th District Leaders and Friends,

 

Billboard Ads Come Down.

Clear Channel has met with the City Solicitor and agreed to remove all the illegal alcohol advertisements on neighborhood billboards — by next Friday, July 27.

 

Special thanks to the Remington Neighborhood Alliance’s Joan Floyd and Doug Armstrong and to the Hampden Community Council’s George Peters for alerting City government to these violations — and sparing further proliferation. 

 

Healthy Neighborhoods Rise Up in the 14th.

On Wednesday, July 25, the Mayor and City Council President will join with Healthy Neighborhoods in a press conference IN CHM!!!  to announce the newest neighborhoods to win “membership” in a growing geography of neighborhoods-on-the-upswing. 

 

Please join the celebration:

Wednesday, July 25, 10:00 am

At the Martin Luther statue and park overlooking Lake Montebello

Corner of Hillen Road and East 32nd/33rd Streets.

(Street parking is allowed on both sides of Hillen Road and on both sides of

East 32^nd Street between Hillen and Harford Roads.)

 

In the 14^th District, our two new winners are the Coldstream Homestead-Montebello (CHM) neighborhood and the Greater Homewood Community Corporation (GHCC). 

 

Membership entitles Healthy Neighborhoods to a community organizer for efforts to revitalize individual blocks, grants to accomplish these efforts and to a wonderful array of financial packages to encourage homeownership and rehabilitation of neighborhood homes.

 

Ednor Gardens/ Lakeside and Charles Village are the veteran Healthy Neighborhoods in the 14^th District.  They have led the way and remain entitled (for life!) to all the financial packages and to grants for block beautification projects.

Healthy Neighborhoods target neighborhoods “on the rise” and in need of added organizing and financial resources to “cure” remaining blight. It is a wonderful program — and just what our neighborhoods need in promoting homeownership, repair, rehab and beautification.

 

“Messages” Abound (we hope not...)

Our new “group” email system still has kinks. If you receive more than one copy of this Message, please just email back to let us know.  (A month ago, the old system sent as many as 45 copies to many members of our list!, so we switched systems and are still correcting-as-we-go.)  Thanks for your patience.

 

Thanks,

Mary Pat

 

Please bear with us.
