Cleanup THIS weekend - Any takers?

As we discussed in this month’s meeting, THIS Saturday is the South End Boston Shines/Cleanup day. While Eight Streets doesn’t have an official neighborhood-wide cleanup, groups of residents or streets can have their own.

Please let me know by Tuesday if you will be holding your own local cleanup. I’ll let the City know to have the extra supplies on hand.

Also – the city will again have clear plastic recycling bags on hand to give away for free, as well as more information on recycling in general. I’ll post any more infor/schedule on our Blog as the weekend approaches.

Meet your city councilor! (2nd meeting)

A reminder the second of 2 meeting with City Councilor Linehan will take place THIS Thursday, 11/8 from 6-7:30 at the Salvation Army building (old post office) at 1500 Wachingston street. This is a short walk from Foodies...

There was moderate turnout at the last meeting, with some questions for the coincilor. Remember, Bill works for YOU. If you have problems with any neighborhood-wide issues, this is the time to bring it up. Police, valets, parks, traffic, taxes, BRA, licensing, schools, etc. These are all issues the councilor can look into, call hearings, or take some kind of action item.

If you have any city issues, don't complain to your neighbors - complain to your Councilor! If you missed the first meeting, or were just unable to make it - this is your opportunity! Remember, if we don't show the councilor we have interest in our neighborhood, he might lose interest in us!
