  • North Village Library Groundbreaking

    Administrator

    The groundbreaking ceremony for the new library at Steck was held this past Saturday. We had a great turnout who enjoyed listening to the live band, eating breakfast tacos from Curra’s Grill, drinking coffee and smoothies from Maui Zowi and enjoying the face painting and balloon art of a colorful clown.

    We had three council members attend as well as the staff of the current North Village Library, John Gillum and other library staff, the architects who designed the library and the construction team.

    The event began with live music to set the mood and help ward off the impeding weather. There were many speeches that discussed the history of the branch library, how the architects designed the library as well as our own Malcolm St. Romain who said a few words about the project.

    At the end, the speakers all took shovel in hand and heartily threw some ceremonial mulch.

    Photos from the event can be found here.

    I spoke with John Gillum after the ceremony and he let me know we should expect earth movers within the next two weeks as the construction team is ready to get started.

    Thanks to everyone who attended.

    Spring is here and it is time to clean out that cluttered garage/attic/house/shed/etc! The Neighborhood Garage Sale has been planned and scheduled.

    Saturday – May 12th 7am – 2pm (Alternate Rain Date – Saturday – May 19th 7am – 2pm)

    If you would like your address included in the fliers, please contact:

    Aleda Johnson at 453-0672 or email her at aledathweatt at yahoo dot com no later than May 7th by 5pm

    NSCNA will run a large ad in the American Statesman as well as put our perimeter signs on major streets coming into the neighborhood. Each family can pick up fliers with addresses and a map indicating where garage sales are from Aleda. Individual yard signs are the responsibility of the participant.

    This is also a great opportunity to get out and meet your neighbors.

    Here are some garage sale related websites to help make garage sale a success:

  • New Board Member

    Administrator

    We are sad that Meredith Highstreet (one of our Board members) requested to resign from her At-Large Board Member position. To ensure we maintain a full roster of eleven Board Members, we have added Chris Jones. During last night’s Board meeting, a unanimous vote from the nine attending Board Members, elected Chris to fill the open At-Large Board Member position. His tenure begins immediately.

    Chris will Co-Chair the Media Committee with Sandy Perkins. He continues to lead the development and use of the internet as an important means of communication with our neighbors. Thank you Chris for volunteering.
