Yes, there was a hiatus due to unforeseen circumstances, but it is back…here is the June-July 2016 edition of The Suburban, the newsletter of the Suburban Acres Civic League. All the news that is news for Suburban Park, Suburban Acres, and surrounding Wards Corner area plus neighborhood and community news and events. Enjoy!
Join your neighbors for the annual Independence Day Parade and Picnic…Decorate your bikes, wagon, car, scooter, pets, or spouse/better half and join the parade! There are door prizes, and parade prizes. If you’re a baker, bring a desert and compete in the annual bakeoff. Hot dogs, chips, and drinks are provided. We also have deejay Michael Harold on site spinning upbeat tunes. Everything is wrapped up by noon. Hope to see you there, or along the parade route!
Here’s the parade route (if you don’t live along the route, feel free to watch from 549 Carl Street/corner of Carl St. & Suburban Pkwy.):
EARNN (Environmental Awards for Recycling in Norfolk Neighborhoods) points equate to cash for our civic league activities!
Please come out this Saturday May 14th and participate in the Great American Cleanup.
We’ll be working on some backlogged projects the city/school system hasn’t been able to get around to:
-Trimming hedges
-Pressure washing siding
-General cleanup
You’ll only be occupied for an hour or two. For this event the points our civic league earns for EARNN is based on participation, so please come out and sign in to end moral support, even if you can’t lend physical support!
Yard tools would be appreciated (rakes, etc.) and we would particularly appreciate anyone who has gasoline-powered hedge clippers (limited electrical access).
Trash bags, gloves, refreshments, etc. provided.
This is a great way to meet neighbors, help Suburban Park Elementary, beautify the neighborhood, and earn EARNN points! Bring the kids to involve them in environmental stewardship and community engagement.
