November/December 2007
Our next NENA board meeting will be on
Wednesday, January 16 at 7 pm.
If you're interested in specific issues affecting our neighborhood,
would like to help NENA accomplish current goals, or lead NENA in new
directions, please consider

- Graffiti
Update
Thanks to the
diligence and organization of neighborhood volunteers who worked
with the Olympia Police Department, we
may have nipped a threatening graffiti problem in the bud!
You can help keep our neighborhood friendly and graffiti-free by:
-
Reporting suspicious
activity by
calling the police at 753-8487.
It can be difficult to successfully prosecute a
graffiti case unless someone actually witnesses the
crime in progress. This truly is a crime that the
public can help fight by keeping neighborhoods free of
graffiti and reporting suspicious activity.
- Taking pictures.
If
you can take pictures of graffiti before it is
removed, this will assist the Olympia Police
Department. This also helps us gather information
about any possible gang activity in the area. You
can e-mail
us the pictures. Please be sure to include the
location of the tagging and the date the pictures were
taken.

Time Garden

Our garden was the starting point for the 2007
Garden Rhapsodies Tour! We've installed the engraved
bricks and are watching our garden grow. Curious
about the details of this year-long effort? Check
out the
timeline,
the
sign
I've posted in the garden, and our
Project Summary
(revised August 14) that details real vs.
reimbursed expenditures. Thanks to the generosity of
our school families, we built a $50,000 garden for
just under $6,000!
