PNA Monthly Meeting – Saturday Sept. 15 – 10:00 am @ LMH (lower level meeting room)

Pinckney Neighbors!  It’s so nice to have a little bit of cool weather and – can you believe it – even some rain now and then.  Just in time for us to gear up for a couple of important Neighborhood events – the Pinckney Parks clean-up day on October 6th and the Trunk-or-Treat and Food Drive on October 27th. Look for the PNA Newsletter in your mailbox this coming week with more information.

Our meeting this month – September 15th on the lower level of Lawrence Memorial Hospital – will look ahead to plan for these events. We particularly want to work on publicity, building neighborhood connections and encouraging young people to get involved in community service. In addition we will discuss issues of importance to the Neighborhood – such as issues likely to be brought to the city commission – and any topics raised by Pinckney residents.

Please join us on Saturday.  Light refreshments will be served.  If you have issues of concern that you would like PNA to look into, please bring them to the meeting or send an email to Pinckney.Neighborhood@gmail.com

Pinckney Neighborhood Infrastructure Survey – This Saturday, May 5th @ 10:00 am

Now is the time for you to step up to do something to help get those irritating potholes, cracked sidewalks and such in our neighborhood fixed.  The Pinckney Neighborhood Infrastructure Survey kicks-off this Saturday, May 5th.

Please join us at 10:00 am at the Lawrence Memorial Parking Lot at the intersection of 4th St. and Michigan St.

Groups of at least two will be assigned certain blocks to walk and will be given a map and a simple form to note infrastructure issues such as potholes, storm drain blockages, eroding curbs, etc.  No special skills are needed – just a little of your time and the ability to jot down a few notes about what you see.  You’ll be asked to return to the registration table with their filled out forms by noon.

Participating in the Survey is also a great way for students to earn a few hours of community service credit. We’ll  have vouchers ready for any student that participates.

Please wear good walking shoes and, if you have them, bring a digital camera, clipboard and tape measure.

It looks like the weather is going to be warm and sunny, so this should be the perfect day to take a walk around your neighborhood!

Please let us know if you have any questions at Pinckney.Neighborhood@gmail.com
