The summer edition of the Eastside Neighborhood Association newsletter will be published in early August. The deadline for newsletter content is Friday July 20. Email [email protected] with your stories and ads.
Stories and story ideas about neighborhood happenings, concerns and people are all welcome. We also accept advertising for local businesses and events. A business-card size ad is $50. More details are available from [email protected].
Please help make our neighborhood accessible for all who live and work here. When brush, debris, or cars block sidewalks and walking paths, it makes passing difficult and sometimes dangerous for those on foot, in strollers, wheelchairs, or children on bicycles.
Parking on sidewalks or in walking paths is prohibited and damages the sidewalk. Overgrown vegetation can both pedestrians and also obstructs visibility around corners for walkers, cyclists, and drivers alike. Please do your part to keep our pathways clear.
Cleanup After Your Pets
Just like keeping sidewalks and paths clear of obstructions provides for a more walkable community for all of us, so does keeping your pet’s waste out of public areas.
Spring is here, the tulips are blooming, and summer is right around the corner! It’s time to start planning the Eastside Neighborhood summer picnic. The picnic will be in Lions Park on August 18th. It’s a great event for adults and kids and a chance to get to know your neighbors.
Do you have a band or know of a great band that might be willing to play for part of it? Do you have suggestions for games or activities? Do you make a mean potato salad that you’re willing to bring? Any other great ideas?
Get involved and send your ideas to [email protected] or call (360) 570-0947.
Doug Drainville, Pastor of Ministry Development – The renovation of our new facility is going well. The fire sprinklers are currently being installed and should be completed in April. To our surprise the heating system is intact, with only a new fuel-efficient boiler and a few other repairs needed. The offices are being completely revamped and should be complete near the end of April.
We discovered to our dismay that the the large gym floor was asphalt instead of concrete. It allowed moisture to come up through it so we broke it all up and moved all 42+ tons out with wheelbarrows to be recycled! We have a brand new concrete floor with built-in radiant heating.
We’re also working on the burglar system, replacing the pod windows, and putting in a pervious asphalt parking lot. Then we can get to landscaping and other finishing work.
Our goal for our first regular service is October 7, and of course, everyone from the neighborhood is invited.
