SE Garden Tour this weekend!
A reminder that the South End Garden Tour is this Saturday, June 19th. This year the tour is on the Western end of the South End, in an area roughly bounded by Tremont St. --> West Newton St. -->Harrison Ave. --> Northampton St. and beyond. “The tour will feature many beautiful, diverse gardens in the South End - from pocket-sized patio spaces to rooftop terraces to neighborhood parks and community gardens.” The tour is also the major fundraiser for SELROSLT, a nonprofit organization that supports local pocket parks and community gardens.
Tickets are available now, or the day of the tour. Complete event info can be found on the Garden Tour Web Site. I hope you get a chance to hit the tour – it’s a great way to see many of the hidden gardens in the neighborhood – and Saturday is predicted to be great weather!!
Note – I got an email this morning that they are still looking for volunteers to help with the tour. Volunteers work on the tour for a 2 hour shift – and get to attend the tour for free! See the web site for contact information

Is your home a fire trap?
Remember the large multiple alarm fire at Beacon & Mass Ave back in April? BFS has determined the preliminary cause.
The cause of the 9-alarm fire on April 7, 2010 at the Beacon Towers Condominium building, 483 Beacon Street, has been found to have been an electrical short circuit. Specifically, an extension cord running under a piece of carpet in a seventh floor unit shorted out to cause the fire. The building remains closed for renovations.
That's right. An extension cord running under a carpet destroyed one home, put many others our of their homes, and could have lead to loss of life.
Consumer Product Safety Commission provides this PDF on home electrical safety... Make sure your home is a safe home...

no June ESNA Meeting
Evening everyone,
Since we usually take the summer off, we were looking forward to our June meeting. Even though we had no 'gripping' agenda I had hoped to do some planning for the summer and see where you wanted to take the NA next year. Unfortunately I got a call today and we have lost out room space for Wednesday night.
Given a smaller room and tentative agenda, we'll be cancelling the June meeting. Should any agenda items need our attention, we can have a July or August meeting as needed.
In the meantime, we can use the email list to discuss the same items. Are there any activities you would like to see over the summer? Maybe another Foley's trivia night? Join Berkeley in a pot luck over the summer? Let us know!!! The email list is a two-way street, so feel free to share your thoughts.
Stay in touch, and have a good summer. Watch the Blog for current news, and if we have a summer meeting both the blog, email and web will be updated.
Enjoy the warm weather!
- John Mc
