2015 Eastside Neighborhood Picnic

Location: Lions Park

Date:  Saturday August 22nd

NEW Time: 4pm to 7pm

This years Annual Summer Eastside Neighborhood Picnic will be held on Saturday August 22 at Lions Park.  There was a lot of enthusiasm at our Annual General Meeting to make the picnic, bigger and better. Even though we failed to get the City of Olympia to support us through the matching grant program, your board members have managed to pull together some great entertainment and food.

Thanks to our local businesses for your donations! Eastside Big Tom’s, Ralphs Thriftway and the Eastside Olympia Food Co-op have all chipped in!

Thanks also to the Olympia Parks Department and Waste Services, they are always supportive.

New time!

At the fall membership meeting we swapped the picnic to late afternoon, so 4pm to 7pm is the new time!

Food!

Food offerings include a main dish (burgers or hotdogs) provided by the ENA (and donors), with neighbors bringing side dishes and deserts.

Live Music!

There will be live music!

New business

  • Defaced sign at 9th and Boulevard for Medella rezoning.
  • Sound barriers:
  • Medella project: Borders of area are of concern.  Overlap into cemetery.  Deeded land in 1857 so not a lot of surveying has been done.  No recorded surveys for the Medella property.  Should be adverse possession for cemetery.  Still considered non-project so city said to wait until it becomes a project.
