General PPNA meeting 2

[Kurt A]

I forgot to tell you --  Meeting Tonight 6:30pm at Cafe Luwak in Depot Town --  We'll probably be there a couple of hours and arriving late is not a crime. 




Hello Neighbors, 



    Tonight there will be a general meeting for the PPNA.   



    The meeting will primarily be an informational session on things going on in the city.    



    A few things we will talk about: 

            We will have a representative from EMU GREEN which is a student run group helping with 'green' initiatives at EMU and within the city.   They have a GREEN Week coming up and also Capture the Trash which is a community clean up effort in the parks. 



             I'll talk about some of the things I learned at the Growing Hope Urban Farmers Breakfast today and some ways you can get involved in growing.  Along these lines are cooperative seed starting, a PPNA booth at the Farmers Market,  Spring planting day with your neighbors,  The possible Urban Garden Ordinance, etc. 



          The Prospect Park Summit --  There is talk of the community taking over some of the care and maintenance of Prospect Park.   There will be a meeting soon to discuss what this will involve and to gather visions of the park in the future. 



           CoPac / Police issues --  I'll talk about my experience in the Citizens Police Academy as well as some of the items that have come up in CoPAC meetings.  I'm not sure if we will have officers on hand but we might. 



           Cadys / Wild WIllys --- Talk about the changes going on in Depot Town and downtown. 



           Lots of other good information about cheap Loans for remodeling, Free weatherization programs, and a few other things. 



Take care, 

Kurt
