Materials for the June 12 EGNC Meeting

Materials for the June 12 EGNC Meeting

This month’s Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Council Meeting (and the last one until the potluck in August) will take place this Wednesday, June 12 starting at 7pm in the Corbin Senior Center.

Materials are available from the Downloads page. Or grab ’em here:

We have one presentation scheduled for this meeting. Andrew Worlock begged off (please read his e-mail to the EGNC), but we still have police ombudsman Tim Burns, who will be on hand to explain the The Office of the Police Ombudsman‘s 2012 Annual Report and answer questions. (Some recommendations from that report can be found here.)

The August 14 potluck in Corbin Park is approaching faster than we might like, and folks are needed to bring/donate cutlery, tables, hot dogs and burgers (and buns), as well as make and distribute flyers — so please have a think about how and what you might contribute. On a completely unrelated note, we’re also going to be voting on a new head for our Neighborhood Planning Committee.

The launch date for the Emerson-Garfield Farmers’ Market is July 19. As such, we have a lot to discuss in terms of recent developments and what remains to be done to ensure a successful inaugural event. On another completely unrelated note, the EGNC ought to determine where it stands on forming a non-profit: Do we pursue it, or do we partner with other non-profits instead?

On top of all that comes the usual organization updates (Corbin Center, Emerson Community Garden), crime reports, and announcements. We hope to see you there. And as always, everyone who lives, works, or owns property in Emerson-Garfield is encouraged to attend!

Corbin Park Yard Sale, June 15

Corbin Park Yard Sale, June 15

The annual Corbin Park Yard Sale will take place next Saturday, June 15.

That’s all the info we’ve got, unfortunately. We’re assuming that it will run — as in years past — from 9am to 4pm, rain or shine.

And, assuming other details remain the same, the participating homes will span the blocks between Division and Post [map] in Emerson-Garfield — which means streets like Waverly Place, Park Place, Cleveland and Euclid. They’ll be selling everything under the sun: antiques, collectibles, baby items, books, electronics, kitchenware, linen, glassware, tools, arts and crafts, CDs and DVDs, furniture, kids’ clothes and toys.

The early weather forecast looks promising: 80° and sunny.

Trinity Cow Plop Tomorrow (June 1)

Trinity Cow Plop Tomorrow (June 1)

The 23rd annual Trinity Catholic School [map] Cow Plop takes place tomorrow (that is, Saturday, June 1) from 11am to 4pm.

For the uninitiated, a cow plop lets cows do what cows do best while humans gamble on the deposits. The top prize is $3,100, and there are 50 more cash prizes to be won.

In addition to the live bovine bingo, there’s a street carnival with face painting, a mechanical bull, pony rides, arts and crafts, and pizza from Pizza Rita. The event is open to everyone, not just Trinity students, and is a great way to help raise funds for a neighborhood school.

Bingo tickets are available in advance or on the day. For more info, call (509) 327-9369.

Tossed & Found Barn Sale, May 25

Tossed & Found Barn Sale, May 25

Tossed & Found is going to be holding its third annual Barn Sale on Saturday, May 25. This is the event where one of N. Monroe’s most popular vintage stores closes off its parking lot and opens up its barn. It will run from 9am until 5pm and will be held in the rear parking lot of the building [map].

BarnSale 3

For the past two years, the Barn Sale has been a cornucopia of all things distressed, vintage, antique, and retro. Some third-party vendors take part and offer their wares in addition to Tossed and Found’s ample selection of furniture, trinkets, books, signs, tools, gewgaws, knickknacks, and nostalgia items.

Oh, and please don’t park at Waffles Plus. They’ll get surly and will tow.
