From Lisa Crowder: The Medlock Funky, Elegant, Lush Garden tour just completed its 3rd successful year. For 2011, we'd like to spread out to include gardens in Clairmont Heights. Do you have (or know of) a garden that should be considered for inclusion in the tour? Please email lcrowder@mindspring.com (and put "Medlock Garden Tour" in the subject line) to recommend your own or a neighbor's garden. We're hoping to visit these gardens before the end of this summer to get an idea what they'll look like next year.
From MANA: 3rd Annual Medlock Area Garden Tour - Thank You for a Great Success! Did you miss this great event last month? MANA has posted photos that were shared with us in an album at: www.medlockpark.org
From MANA: New Date for The Annual Medlock Neighborhood Pool Party AND Pot Luck! Sunday, August 22, 2010, 6PM to 8PM. Join your neighbors for our Annual Neighborhood POOL PARTY and Pot Luck! To celebrate summer! MANA has rented out the Medlock Pool for the evening and will provide a live band. So please come out and bring your family and friends! We encourage you to bring own picnic and a little favorite dish or item to share if you'd like.
Saturday, July 10, 2010: The third annual "Funky-Elegant Lush Summer" Medlock Garden Tour has been set for Saturday, July 10. Do you have a garden, or know of a garden, that would be a good addition to the tour? We are looking for vegetable, flower, wildlife habitat, and all kinds of gardens.
Saturday, May 15, 9AM-1PM. Meet at Medlock Elementary for Coffee and Bagels at 9AM. MANA and CHCA residents are invited to participate. Residents can help simply by cleaning trash and litter from the street in front of their homes. A "Clean Curb Challenge" is also part of this year’s focus so we encourage residents to clean the debris from the street in front of your property (and maybe your neighbors if you know they would like the help).
Please mark the date on your calendar and plan to attend one of just three MANA community meetings for 2010! Attendance for just an hour or so three times a year is the best way to stay informed of local happenings and connect with neighbors and friends to improve our community. Members and non-members are welcome. The agenda will include:
* Introduction of Candidates for Special Election of District 42 State Senator (to replace Senator David Adelman). For more info visit:
