PARKS COMMITTEE LOOKING FOR "PARK STEWARDS"
In an effort to keep our parks healthy and happy, the MLPA Parks Committee Co-Chairs are looking for a group of neighbors to be "park stewards".  These residents would do periodic surveys of green space in their areas and report any needs or tree issues. Interested?  Email Charlotte at gillis-brown@mindspring.com or Karen at karenschaefer@mindspring.com

TREES AT MORNINGSIDE ELEMENTARY: Many residents were alarmed at the big orange X's on many trees along Fordham Court at MES.  These trees were marked for removal during storm drainage repair at the school.  Thanks to joint work by community, city, and school, most of these trees will be spared.  Come hear the official report at Monday's MLPA meeting, May 13.

NEIGHBORING GARDEN HILLS POOL INFO: Garden Hills is opening to subscribers on May 18th.  Benefits to subscribers include a Family Night, an Adult Pool Party, six "Teen Nights", and extended evening hours.  Visit www.gardenhillspool.homestead.com for more info.

REMINDERS: MLPA Monthly Meeting, Mon., May 13, 7:30p.m., Morningside Presbyterian Church.

It's not too late to volunteer for Celebration of Summer, May 24!  Mike at mjmccool@mindspring.com
