All walks for 2009 are the first Monday of the month.

Due to the Memorial Day holiday, we will be holding the monthly meeting a week earlier. This month's meeting will be on Monday May 18th at 7pm.

Our speaker (still to be confirmed) will be Wanda Durden from the Baltimore City Rec & Parks to discuss items related to Riverside Park.

We will also have our usual committee updates.

Please plan to attend the meeting.

The next RNA meeting is tonight, April 27th at 7pm.

We will have speakers from BGE, Spinello (the water contractor) and the City on hand to discuss the water project and more importantly, our need to ensure that all of the holes they are digging into our streets are repaired quickly and correctly.

We will also have our usual committee updates.

Hope to see you at the meeting tonight.

Dear Residents:

The Hearing for Bill # 09-0322, Leash Law - Environmental and Civil Citations, will be held next Tuesday, April 28th, at 10:00am at City Hall, in Council Chambers. Please share this information with your friends and neighbors.

In conjunction with the Citywide Spring Cleanup, we're combining forces with the Friends of Riverside Park crew and some adjoining neighborhood associations for what we hope to be a very productive day.

We will meet at 9 AM on Saturday April 18th at Heath and Johnson Streets and we will divide and conquer from there. The City is supplying bags, brooms, rakes, shovels and work gloves, so just bring yourself, a neighbor or two, and an appetite for some coffee and donuts. We plan to do work in the park as well as fan out into the neighborhood to address problem areas.

If you can help - even if only for an hour, it would be much appreciated. The cleanup should last until about noon. If you are not able to meet in the park, please take some time to address areas around you - your front sidewalk and gutter (and maybe your neighbor's too), your alley, - maybe a forgotten place around the corner etc.

As an added incentive, we're working with Little Havana to provide drink and/or meal coupons for all volunteers.

Please spread the word to your neighbors!

The next RNA meeting will be Monday, March 30th at 7pm

7:00 meeting - Speaker: Major Bloodsworth of the Southern District Police will give a report on the state of the district, statistics to date and plans for 2009 - THIS IS A RESCHEDULE from the February meeting. Of course, he will be available for questions as well, so if you have any type of safety or crime concern, we urge you to attend.

As always, meetings will be at Salem Lutheran Church on the corner of Randall St. & Battery Ave. Enter through the Battery Ave entrance.

Hope to see you there!
