4th Saturday Clean-Up

On Saturday 8/25, a group got together to clean up Grant Avenue for the 4th Saturday clean-up. The group met at the Italian Bakery - some enjoyed coffee and a roll prior to beginning the clean up. Thanks to those that participated.

Please join us on the 4th Saturday of September for the monthly Grant Avenue clean-up. We will again meet at the Italian Bakery prior to the starting of clean-up at 10AM.

Together we can strive to make our downtown beautiful one "step" at a time.

BLOCK PARTIES

On Tuesday, August 7th, 4 blocks in the City of Eveleth joined with many other communities throughout the United States and Canada for National Night Out. The overall goal is to bring safety back to the communities by getting to know your neighbors and connecting with the police department.

The Eveleth Police Department was able to send some officers and cars to the parties. The children and adults were able to ask questions, learn about the instruments used, and most importantly, learn more about the individuals who protect and serve the Eveleth community.

The Eveleth ambulance was able to come to the parties as well. The participants were able to see the inside of an ambulance and learn of services that are available to the community.

Individuals met neighbors they hadn't known, reconnected with neighbors they rarely see, and were able to take time to spend in the community getting to know others.

Thanks to those who made it such a success:

* Stefanie J. for pulling all of it together - you do amazing work

* City of Eveleth for assisting with products and the support

* Public Works for bringing out tables, chairs, and roadblocks

* Target for co-sponsoring the event (they are national sponsors of National Night Out)

* Eveleth Police Department for your co-sponsoring the event and working to make Eveleth a safe place to live

* EMS for joining the block parties and bringing an ambulance - it was enjoyable

* The block hosts (Tracie, Val, Beth, and Shirley and Joanne)

The groups are already developing plans for next year. If you would like to host a party on your block the first Tuesday in August of 2008, please call Liz at 744-2098 for more information.
