Hello Neighbors!
Next week will be our annual Neighborhood Clean Up on Sunday, May 19th, 9:00-11:00 am. We will meet at the sledding hill on Tenbrook (the open space at the top of the hill across from Robin Rd.). The civic association will provide trash bags, gloves, hand sanitizer, and doughnuts! Bring your family and friends to help clean up our neighborhood. You can clean up the wooded areas on the side of sledding hill, your own street, or target areas behind MacDonald Knolls school and the Verizon building. SSL hours will be available for middle & high school students. So far the weather looks like it will be warm & clear!
Our March General Meeting was held on March 14. The minutes are linked below. Montgomery County Master Gardener Meipo Martin presented an engaging and informative talk on Gardening 101. Her handout is below.
Andrea Altuner was elected Membership Secretary at the meeting. Congratulations Andrea! There are still vacancies for Vice President and Treasurer. Our civic association can only continue to plan events and advocate for our community if we have a fully staffed board. Please contact the board at sligowoods@gmail.com if you would like to be considered for either one of these roles.
Our next event is the Sweep the Creek on the weekend of April 20 & 21. We will be organizing a neighborhood group to participate. Keep an eye out for more information as we get closer to that date.
