Pocket Park

Tree Watering Party

/ Anna White

Please join our third tree watering party of the summer this Saturday, September 2, 2023 from 9:00 am-10:00 am, at the Warren St pocket park next to Woodlin Elementary School, and meet some neighbors too!

We gave the trees a boost last week but they are still stressed and there’s no rain in the forecast. If we can pull these beeches, American sycamores, and dogwoods, plus witch hazel and spicebush shrubs, through the drought, the park will be lovely in a few years.

We’ll have hoses from two homes available to us. Bring large or small buckets or watering cans if you have them but I will have plenty to share as well. Wagons for hauling buckets welcome.

RSVP to me if you can so I have a general idea of who’s coming, but it’s fine to show up on the spur of the moment too. Projections show the temperature should be pleasant, after a cool overnight.

Thanks!

Memorial Bench Ceremony Invitation

/ Anna White

Please join the NWCA’s Community Design Committee and the NWCA Board for the dedication of the first North Woodside Memorial Bench on Sunday, May 1st, at 11am. The new bench honors longtime community volunteer, Woody Brosnan, and will be located at the “pocket park” at the intersection of Lanier Drive and 3rd Avenue.

The short ceremony will include a ribbon cutting by Mr. Brosnan’s wife, current North Woodside resident and NWCA Secretary Amy Henchey, plus memories of Mr. Brosnan’s dedication to local service by neighbor Gus Bauman.

Donations of light refreshments for the event, such as cookies and drinks, would be greatly appreciated.

If you would like to contribute to the cost of the bench you may make a donation to the NWCA’s new Neighborhood Beautification and Memorial Fund. To donate by check or PayPal, follow the directions on our NWCA Dues page.
