3) Sustainable Overlook Meeting (5/23)
Join Sustainable Overlook’s meeting at 6:30PM on Thursday May 23rd at The Hop & Vine at 1914 N Killingsworth Street.
We'll be discussing efforts to encourage neighbors to avoid spraying their lawns with potentially dangerous pesticides/fertilizers and other chemicals, and we'll also discuss upcoming events that we're planning for the summer season, including planter building/planting at last year's Intersection Repair site and the annual Yard Sale/Free Share. We would love to get some fresh input and also brainstorm other activities we can initiate to help bring the neighborhood together socially and environmentally.
We will meet out back in Hop & Vine's amazing garden space. We hope you can make it!
