Hello all,

The next RNA monthly meeting will be Monday, January 25th at 7pm at Salem Lutheran, our usual spot.

Speakers:
Mark Shapiro and AB Associates will present their revised plans for the Walgreens/Mixed use development at the current Main Steel site (on the corner of Lawrence & Key)

James McCall from the Baltimore City Health Department will speak about rodent and disease issues and how to protect against them.

Of course, we will have our usual committee updates.

Hope to see you there. Bring a neighbor.

RNA will be participating in the city-wide crime walk night on Wed Jan 13th. The walk will be at 7pm. Meet as usual at the Riverside Park gazebo.

This is a special walk (in addition to our normal ones at the beginning of the month) to galvanize efforts to reduce crime in our neighborhood, but also in the city overall.

Please join us for this walk!

CHRISTMAS TREE PICKUP AND MULCHING
DPW will provide Christmas tree mulching every Saturday during the month of January 2010, at the Citizen Drop-off Center, 701 Reedbird Avenue from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Residents should bring their own bags or containers if they want to bring back mulch for their own use. While supplies last, community groups are encouraged to come by during this time to also bag up free mulch for neighborhood gardens.

For residents who cannot bring their trees for mulching, the Bureau of Solid Waste will offer curbside tree collection from Tuesday, January 5, 2010 through Friday, January 29, 2010. Residents should set out trees on their trash collection day at the location where their trash is picked up. All tinsel and ornaments should be removed from the trees before they are set out for curbside collection or mulching.

For additional information, please call 311.

Hello all,

Just a reminder that we will hold our combined Nov/Dec meeting on Monday, December 14th at 7pm at Salem Lutheran Church.

Councilman Reisinger will be there to give us an update of things going on in the district and City Council.

Please come out and help cleanup the neighborhood and park. We will meet at Johnson & Heath St at 9am (we will have refreshments) to help tackle areas in the neighborhood that need to be cleaned up. We have a long list of projects, so any time you can spare is appreciated! We will have gloves, trash bags and shovels & brooms available.

If you cannot join the group, be sure to take some time to cleanup the area around your own home or your block. Pull those weeds, pickup trash, sweep the alley, plant some flowers!

The Reserve, a new restaurant in our neighborhood, will be sponsoring the meeting and will have some items from their menu for us to sample.

Hope to see you there.
