February e-Newsletter Out Now

February e-Newsletter Out Now

The February e-newsletter for Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood was just sent out and should be arriving in inboxes shortly.

You can click here to read it — or better yet, sign up and have it conveniently delivered right to your own inbox. It comes out just once per month (at most) and is full of useful neighborhood-related events, announcements, updates, news and more.

This month’s newsletter has info on upcoming volunteering opportunities with the North Monroe Business District, Spokane COPS, the Emerson-Garfield Farmers’ Market and a grassroots leaflet distribution for the school levy.

There are also some updates on items like North Monroe construction and new businesses, neighborhood events and the recent COPS North Central relocation to Knox Presbyterian.

With all that’s happening and all that’s going to be happening in Emerson-Garfield in the near future, it’s an ideal time to get on the mailing list and stay up to date.

Spring Cleanup 2017 (May 20)

Spring Cleanup 2017 (May 20)

Just a final reminder that our annual Spring Cleanup is this Saturday (May 20) from 9am to 12:30pm, rain or shine. If you live here in Emerson-Garfield, you should have received a postcard in the mail recently with all the details.

Spring Cleanup is your chance to clear out all the junk from your attic, garage, alley, basement, yard, closets or wherever else it might have been accumulating over the winter.  All you need to do is pack it up into a car, truck, van or trailer, then haul it up to the parking lot of Faith Bible Church (600 W Cora). Volunteers will then direct you to the dumpster and help you toss it. You can make as many runs as you like — there’s no limit.

A couple of things to bear in mind:

  • You’ll need ID to show that you live in the neighborhood. Here’s a map of the neighborhood boundaries.
  • Please break up large items such as furniture. Everything has to be heaved over the dumpster wall.
  • Only bring ordinary household waste. That means no drywall, concrete, nail-embedded wood or hazardous waste (e.g., paint, oil, turpentine).
  • The Salvation Army eCycle van will be there to collect your old computers, VCRs, TVs, telephones and other consumer electronics.
  • We’ll gladly recycle mostly-metal items like microwaves, water heaters and even lawnmowers. But please drain them of oil and other fluids first!

If you’ve got questions about Spring Cleanup or would like to volunteer to help, please call Karl at (509) 325-3031.

And if RSVP’ing on Facebook is your thing, please head over to the event page to indicate you’re going and share it with your neighbors.

CLEANING FROM THE CORRIDOR – TODAY FROM 9AM – 12PM

Spring has sprung and the city’s annual volunteer event Cleaning from the Corridor (CFTC) will be in full swing on this gorgeous iconic Spokane Spring day from 9am – 12pm (some events running till 1pm). Here’s a quick guide how to make sure you don’t miss any of the excitement before, during, or after the clean up!

Before the Clean up: 
Any volunteers who show up that are not registered but want to volunteer anyway, whether you come with friends, family or just heard about CFTC and showed up, Please find any project leader to provide you with a free T-Shirt for the event and a Volunteer Waiver From. If you are looking to connect with a specific project, try to identify which project you are searching for to the project leader you find and they will contact that specific project leader for coordination. With at least 13 different projects to choose from, the project leader you find can help you navigate all the fun!

 

During the Clean up:
Here is a link list of the clean up events.

Volunteer Projects Opportunities Include –

  • Landscaping
  • Public art (murals)
  • Planting raised garden beds and
  • Trash cleanup

Sign-up to Volunteer by going to www.VolunteerSpokane.org > click on Spokane Gives and then select the CFTC logo, or follow the unregistered volunteer instructions listed above.

Each volunteer will report to a project leader during the event who can answer any and all questions, distribute and refill supplies, and redistributing volunteers to other projects if your project finishes early or if others need the extra help.

Once your project is finished make sure you visit the Inland Northwest Blood Center Blood Drive from 11:00am – 1:00pm which will be located at 2310 N. Monroe next to the Emerson-Garfield Farmers Market.

 

After the Clean up:
