Community Participation Resources
Peter Guttchen has prepared a list of some of the resources he's used to support NENA's efforts to improve the quality of life in our neighborhood. If you are interested in learning more about how to reach out to and involve community members in important community projects, this resource list is worth checking out.

Neighborhood Kiosk Update!
Current community posting area
at bakery entrance
Check out the new kiosk (photos below) that's going up at the San Francisco Bakery! Thanks to a City of Olympia Neighborhood Matching Grant, we are building a lovely kiosk to help handle community messages currently overloading the bulletin boards at the bakery entrance.

HUGE thanks to Katie Cox, neighborhood mom and architect, who rescued the lame kiosk design I submitted with the grant application and lifted the idea to an eye-catching piece of art. Katie drafted neighborhood artist Rus Geh, who executed Katie's design and created the metal art on the back side of the kiosk. During October, we drafted husbands and friends to plant the kiosk firmly in the bakery gardens. Thank you, Brian Cox, Keith Spencer, and Katie's visiting colleagues!

The last step in this process will be to install cedar slats and the bulletin board material. We will also dig a French drain to steer runoff from the kiosk into the bakery gardens. Keep watching!
