This past year we raised money and now we are going to plant it.
The Pocket Park (at Battle Academy West 17th street between Long and Market) is ready for installation. You'll begin to see changes as earth moving work will begin the week of November 19th. The crews will level the site, prep for future electrical, pour side walks, auger for tree planting, etc. We've raised through donations of cash, goods and labor of almost 35,000$ to cover this effort. But we still need help to get the trees and grasses planted and mulched.
As part of MainX24 on December first, we will have two work parties, morning from 9 am to 12 noon and from 1 pm to 4pm to finish the tree planting, to plant grasses and to mulch.
Please email sscowart@gmail.com your name, phone number, if you want to help morning or afternoon, and how many are in your party.

Neighborhood Networking Session
Please join the Office of the Mayor, Chattanooga City Council and the Department of Neighborhood Services and Community Development at a "Neighborhood Networking" sessions Monday, April 18. Invited guests are presidents and vice presidents of all neighborhood associations in the City. This will be an opportunity for leaders who have been chosen by their neighbors to represent them to have a conversation with city officials and other neighborhood leaders about problems affecting the communities where you live, work and play.
After the networking session, leaders are invited to join city officials for an update on how the City's budget has an effect on your neighborhood. Understanding how the City and County spend your tax dollars is important and we want to hear what you think about it. We want your input.
Again, the event is April 18th and will begin at 5:00 p.m. at the Chattanooga City Council Building, 1000 Lindsay Street. Refreshments will be served.
Neighborhood association presidents and vice presidents can expect to receive a call from the Department of Neighborhood Services and Community Development Neighborhood Relations Specialists to confirm attendance. For more information you may contact Richard J. Beeland, Media Relations Director, Office of the Mayor at 425-7800. We look forward to seeing you on April 18th.

District 8 all hands meeting. Yes, that us.
This is the opportunity we've all asked for ... a chance to share and brainstorm a larger vision for our neighborhoods.
We asked Councilman McGary to bring the neighborhoods together, in an effort to create a more cohesive and supportive district, and he heard us. Now it’s your turn. Come share what’s on your mind, whether it’s concerns about education, traffic or crime. Come get some neighborly love, and let’s help create the neighborhood we all want!
We're simply going to meet new people, gather in small groups and share ideas, then come together as a district to shape a plan for District 8. To make it easy, we have two dates and locations, just pick which one is best for you.
Saturday, April 24, 9 to 11 a.m. at Eastside Elementary, 1603 S. Lyerly St. Continental breakfast will be served and you'll have a chance to win a prize.
or
Monday, April 26, 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Brown Academy, 718 E. 8th St. Coffee and snacks will be provided and you'll have a chance to win a prize.
