NEXT PUBLIC MEETING

Kevin Moore, the landscape architect chosen to master plan Canal Park, conducted our first neighborhood meeting at Abiding Savior on May 29th.    Not many  neighbors attended to express their wishes for Canal Park.  If you want your ideas considered come to the meeting and speak up.

On the reverse side of this newsletter is a survey that you may use to make your wishes known. We urge you to fill in the survey and send to the address on the survey.

BEAUTIFICATION AWARD

The Alvarez Residence on East Tempe Drive won a beautification award from the City of Tempe this year.  Congratulations to the Alvarez Family.  They deserve the award. Their home is a jewel in the desert and an asset to the neighborhood.

LAIRD SCHOOL CHOSEN FOR MULTIGENERATIONAL CENTER

The Multigenerational center will be at Laird School at 1500 N. Scovel.  The meetings held to select the site were on Feb. 6th and 9th.  They were not very well attended.  The people who were there overwhelmingly selected Laird School as the preferred site.  The City Council approved the selection.
