They forward notices from these groups to a general ALNA Announcement Google Group, and you can sign up to receive those notices here. Transportation Safety UpdatesAs of July 2016, we have a group of neighbors organizing for slower and safer traffic in the neighborhood. Find their google group page here, request membership, and manage emails that you can receive on just this topic!
Nextdoor.comNextdoor.com is a good resource for minute to minute neighborhood updates, a place to ask questions (Whose dog/chicken/cat is this? Where is my dog/chicken cat? Why is there a coyote in the alley? What kind of plant is this? Did someone else have someone knock on their door in the middle of the night? What's that smell/noise?, etc.), and a place to find, lend or borrow items. The website is run by a different entity than the neighborhood association - we don't run or manage it - but we think it's a useful tool for information sharing and community connections. Check it out!

Save the Date: Spring Cleanup and Litter Pickup May 20
Dump your junk at our spring cleanup event! And, if you don't have junk to dump, consider volunteering to help out at the cleanup or a litter pickup the same day.
You'll be spiffing up the neighborhood and helping the Neighborhood Association, Harper's Playground and Chief Joseph PTO raise funds for the coming year. What better way to show up and support your neighbors and neighborhood?
Email the wonderful Peggy Shannon at peggyshannon at earthlink dot net if you want to volunteer. Dropping off that old couch, cat castle, broken toy, gently used clothing, or rolling up your sleeves - we'll welcome you with open arms!

Seeking: Fantastic Flier-ers
Delivering flyers door-to-door is the best way to let people know how to get involved in their neighborhood. We do a big push each spring to get the word out about our cleanup fundraiser and summer events.
Our neighborhood is big enough that we need extra volunteers to help - can you?
We'll deliver the flyers to your door, and you supply about 1-2 hours of your time and calories.
What: Walking fliers door to door to inform neighbors of our summer events May 20th Clean Up
When: Mid-April (any time before May 6th)
How: Chose your own time to walk, and leave flyers on people's doorsteps
Where: We specifically need someone willing to deliver flyers between N. Lombard and N. Bryant and between Wabash and Atlantic.
Benefits: Exercise, getting to know the neighborhood, maybe meeting a new neighbor, and helping us advertise our annual cleanup that raises funds for our summer BBQ! Dog walkers welcome!
How do I volunteer? E-mail Sharon Parker at sharonparker@prodigy.net
