Fwd: [ypsicitylist] May 29 - Downtown and Around Town Ypsilanti

[Kurt A]

Hello Neighbors, 

There are some questions that need to be answered by everyone on this list 
Please take a couple of minutes and Reply to prospectparkneighborhood at comcast.net 

At the very bottom you will find the Forwarded message of things going on around town. The Sliders open their home season on Friday and there is a fashion show on Saturday. 

Around our neighborhood --- 
I'm working on the Luna Lake clean up party to be held on June 13th. The name of the event is "Luna Lake Hoe Down." we need people to come help move compost around and plant a few new plants. The workday will run from 9am till 3pm. The garden is really looking nice but WE NEED VOLUNTEERS. This will be a hard work day but we are working to make it as fun as possible. If there are enough people the day will be fun. If you have never volunteered for a workday it is really a good way to meet your neighbors and show support for your community. 

After the workday from 3pm till 6pm we are planning a BBQ/Potluck eat what ya brung type of event. We are working on getting a couple of bands and/or pick up jam sessions. If you play an instrument (accoustic) or can entertain in any other way feel free to join the festivities. We are also looking for folks to entertain kids (balloon animals, face painting --- hopefully Mary will be able to do it). If you can provide any of the following let me know --- prospectparkneighborhood at comcast.net 

Even if you can't work on the work portion but have tools to lend please let me know, If you are involved with a youthgroup or church group that wants to help please ask. 

Entertainment --- what can you do? should we have a talent show? 
Accoustic Band or player -- 
Food - donate hotdogs, hamburgers, some vegitarian stuff, a potluck dish 
Large BBQ grill(s) -- there are grills in the park but they are pretty small and spread out 
Face painting, balloon animals etc.. 
A DJ -- we thought a DJ would be nice during the workday portion 
A generator -- so we can power the DJ 
A Pick Up Truck -- to haul around the compost -- we are going to have 30 yards to move 
Wheel Barrows -- desperately needed, 
Shovels, Dirt Rakes, Pitch Forks 
A Bobcat or Front Loader 
Black Eyed Susans -- a plant we can use 
Anything else you can offer 

I am also working on getting the back pavilion at Prospect Park cleaned and painted. I had a meeting today with Stan (head of the city DPS) and Pete Murdock (city council) about the project. It looks like we will be in good shape to get this done. There are a few repairs DPS is going to make before we can paint so there isn't a date set. 

Fundraising -- 

We are thinking of getting Prospect Park shirts made so we can sell them. I'm not sure what the design will be but is this something folks would be interested in buying (probably $10.00). 

Sliders Baseball Tickets -- We can sell Sliders baseball tickets for $7.00 of which $3.50 will go to the Prospect Park fund (there are some logistics to figuring this out but I'm sure we can do it). Would you purchase Sliders tickets? We would like to have a group Sliders day anyway. 
Any other ideas? 



Here are the questions that need to be answered by everyone on this list 
Please take a couple of minutes and Reply to prospectparkneighborhood at comcast.net 

Can you make the workday or part of June 13th 9am till 3pm? 
How many people will you have? 
Can you make the funday portion June 13th 3pm till 6pm? 
How many people will you have? 
Can you share, donate, or offer anything for workday or funday, if so what? 
Would you buy a Prospect Park T-shirt? How many? 
What would you like to see the T-shirt be? some ideas are "Luna Lake Hoe Down 2009", The Canon, Luna Lake, Prospect Park as a cemetery, other ideas? 
Would you buy Midwest Sliders Baseball tickets to support the park? How many? 
Does anyone have a self contained pressure washer - for the pavilion clean up? 


Please come out to Prospect Park this Sunday from 6pm till 8pm to pick up trash. 

Our next general meeting will be 6:30pm on Monday June 8th (probably at Cafe' Luwak) there will be good stuff to talk about 

Kurt
