Neighborhood Dessert/Wine and Meeting, January 31st

Note the date change!  January 31st, 7 p.m.,  1919 Grove Street
For those of you who have never attended,  please come!  We'd love to meet you!

Agenda:

1.   Lexi Winer of the CU Student Government Director of City and Neighborhood Relations would like to visit with us to discuss student/resident relationships, joint projects, etc.
2.  Michele Bishop and I, long time garden leaders for the Community Garden at 20th and Grove, would like to transition the Garden from being under the umbrella of Growing Gardens to being a Goss Grove Neighborhood Association project in parnership with the Transportation Department (which has been de facto the case anyway).  Growing Gardens has been notified that is our intent; we need to discuss as a neighborhood whether there are any reasons NOT to do so.  Growing Gardens is demanding more and more from us and gives us essentially nothing;  all the fees go to them, none to us.  We could do alot with $700/year to keep up the Garden and do our own improvements!
3.  Chris Schutze, a very talented carpenter and craftsman in our neighborhood has designed a Little Free Library that he has offered to build for us.  He would like to show up his design and we would like to discuss location.  Transportation Department has offered to help  with install if needed in the Community Garden.
4.  Discuss brochure (that Jenny will have by then) for neighborhood.
5.  Refresh on street mural?  Who/when/if?
