Announcement from Aug 17th meeting, and other stuff

Hello Cedar Ave United,

I want to thank everyone that attended our most recent meeting (last Monday) and remind everyone that we will revert to our FIRST WEDNESDAY schedule starting on the 2ND OF SEPTEMBER.

For those of you that missed the meeting with County Commissioner Peter McLaughlin, the minutes will be out soon and posted on the website (http://www.cedaraveunited.org/meetings.html)

We have created a few committees: Executive Committee, for people interested in the operations and organizing of CAU; Yard Sign committee, for folks who would like to create and distribute CAU poetic yard signs (see blog posting: http://cedaravenueunited.blogspot.com/2009/08/use-burma-shave.html ); and a Line Striping Party Committee, to plan our first big getting-things-done celebration. if any of these interest you please e-mail me. We can always use another set of helping hands.

We are also in need of folks interested in cleaning up the intersection of 42nd and Cedar. This event will be held in conjunction with SENA (Standish Ericsson Neighborhood Associate) and Mpls Great Streets Program. If you are interested in participating or organizing please e-mail me ASAP. Projects will involve: garbage pick-up, weeding, painting and more! We're going to make this place SPARKLE! We are hoping to get a date picked out in the next few days, so be sure to e-mail soon. I will e-mail again about the event as it develops.

CEDAR AVE UNITED T-SHIRTS ARE HERE!!! They look great! Thanks to Michelle at www.Dragonflypromo.com for having these made. Nice bright 'road sign' green with CAU logo on the front, web address on the back. They are $12. quantities are limited so e-mail me today if you are interested.

Remember to keep an eye on the website and blog for updates and events. And remember that if you have issues related to traffic, safety and environment on Cedar you can report them using the See Click Fix tool at http://www.cedaraveunited.org/seeclickfix.html . Your report will go to the city of Minneapolis 311, and you will get an e-mail response almost immediately!

Good work everyone, lets keep it rolling!

Will
