Its part of an effort by Growing Hope to document food producing areas of the city as well as potential spaces which could be used for community gardens. Examples in our neighborhood would be the Cherry Trees on Cherry Court (I think they are still there - in bad shape but there). The large gardens in the 100 block of Forest and on River Street Towards Holmes. The vacant land on the West side of River Street -- although technically not in our neighborhood. I'm pretty sure Growing Hope would like to get a list of people in our neighborhood that have backyard gardens and also a list of how much food those with gardens thought they produced. Perhaps towards the end of the month we will have a community harvest dinner and work on filling out questionnaires. If you are around Wednesday September 9th go ahead and take a walk with Jim -- He is good people. Take care, Kurt To Any and All, Greetings! Is there an interest in a walk through a part of Prospect Park neighborhood? This walk's primary focus is to document locations of fruit or nut bearing plants; as well as, note properties with gardens. I participated in another walk and enjoyed myself. I got to see a city farm, meet people that I don't normally come into contact with and learn. Let me know. I'd like to go Wednesday, September 9th. 6:30 to 7:30pm. Thanks, Jim Weyman --~--~----- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The Corner Brewery has a lot of great things happening this month so make sure you check them out. Keep in mind that the Corner is a friendly smoke free place so don't think of events there as drinking events everyone should come on out to enjoy quality entertainment. The Corner also has added a lot to their menu so it is a great place to get out to when it is cold outside. I would also like to encourage folks to sign up for the Aubrees Birthday Email list (Free Specialty Pizza the week of your birthday if you sign up online) and the Haabs Monthly email list (I believe you still get a free Haab's pint glass for signing up along with great coupons each month). While I'm promoting local eats don't forget J. Neils Mongolian BBQ which now has bowls of great quality food starting at $6.99. What about Luwak ? Glad you asked, they now have a daily breakfast menu. IF you've had a great local dining experience let me know and I'll pass it on to the neighborhood. The bottom part of this email is Carole Clair's list of Ypsilanti Events -- It has some things I left out of mine. Take care, Kurt Anschuetz prospectparkneighborhood at comcast.net NEIGHBORHOOD SPECIFIC INFO. Since we are so Hi-Tech here in the PPNA there is no reason for a child to go Door to Door to Fundraise so here is your chance to help out without having to answer the door. This is from our neighbor Julie D. Hi Everyone! Well, the school year has officially begun and yes, we have a school fundraiser to promote. I know funds are tight for a lot of folks this year (myself included), but any help would be most appreciated! Now that Colin is in first grade, we have been going door-to-door in the neighborhood. I though since all of us LOVE to surf the web, placing orders online would be easier. Go here: http://www.frankenmuthfundraising.com The school will receive credit when you enter school code/ID #3866 (It's entered at the website under "Profile ID", then hit "enter") Colin will receive credit when you enter his name (Colin DeFilippo) and his teacher's name (Mrs. Wilbanks), you do this at time of checkout. The online orders need to be completed by October 5th! If you could pass this along to other friends and family it would be appreciated! The school fundraising goal is $15,600 and will go toward playground equipment. Not only is there a $100 cash drawing for his school, the fundraising organization will also be giving away prizes: sell 1 item and be in a drawing for a Nintendo DSi (whatever that is); sell 5 items and be in a drawing for a $250 gift card to a water park of the student's choice; sell 10 items and be in a drawing for $500 cash! Any help you can give to Colin would be appreciated! Thanks for all your help! NEWS: You might be interested in the things the Ypsilanti PAC, Advance Ypsilanti is doing. Check them out and see for yourself. Their latest goal was to maintain bus service but I believe that has been figured out. Wireless Ypsilanti Is on the edge of our Neighborhood with a couple new installations. You can help by hosting a transmitter, sharing your bandwidth, or donating money -- all three are needed to keep the efforts going. If you are interested in helping with the effort please contact them and let them know. Update on Thompson Block from the City Manager Mayor and Council Members: I am providing you with the most recent information about activities at the Thompson building since the fire last week. Chief Ichesco reports that a fire investigation should be completed in 30 days. He is working with the State Fire Marshall and representatives from the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms and Tobacco on the investigation. The debris will need to be removed to conduct an investigation and the recent change in weather is hampering efforts. Chief Ichesco has met with Mr. Beal and the structural engineered employed by Mr. Beal. Mr. Beal is securing the remaining walls and intends to rebuild. Chief Ichesco reports that north and south River St. will reopen in one week and that one lane of East. Cross Street will reopen in one week. Please contact me if you have any questions.
