Schenley Park Neighborhood Canned Food Drive Though the current economic climate has affected all of us in some way, we're still a very fortunate community. There are thousands in Miami-Dade who are not as lucky. To that end, we're starting up the first ever Schenley Park Neighborhood Canned Food Drive. We're asking every family to contribute at least 20 cans of soup, veggies or fruit...or as few or as many as they can. Our goal is to collect at least 500 cans by having collection homes on almost every block; the canned food will then be donated to the Community Partnership for the Homeless, which provides meals to hundreds of individuals each day, in time for Thanksgiving (Nov 26th). Participating homes will serve as collection points, where neighbors can drop off bags of canned food (at your doorstep or other accessible spot) at their convenience. A dozen homes throughout our neighborhood have already signed up to serve as collection points, but certainly more are needed. If you'd like to serve as a collection home, please contact Cristi Olaechea at cristim914@bellsouth.net or Maite Herrerias at maiteherrerias@yahoo.com. |

Fall Neighborhood Meeting Miami Children's Hospital Auditorium This is one of our two large meetings of the year. We expect our County Commissioner, Rebeca Sosa, as well as representatives of the Parks, Public Works, and Police Departments to speak to our neighborhood about upcoming projects and current issues. It will give us all a chance to find out how the tough budget year ahead will impact our neighborhood. |

Help-a-Neighbor Everyone knows someone in our neighborhood who, because of age, health, or other challenges, needs some extra help keeping his/her home in tip-top shape. We're going to help one (and perhaps even two) families in our neighborhood with basic but important upkeep activities (painting, landscaping, moving items around). If you'd like to nominate someone (or self-nominate) to get this help, if you'd like to volunteer, or if you'd like to contribute paint, painting supplies or landscaping, please contact our VP of Neighborhood Improvements, Ramon Castella, at 305-445-2900 or rcastella@c3ts.com. |
