Hi Everyone. I hope you can join us this Saturday at 9:00 am in Morrison Park for “Part II” of our Clean Sweep. We will be weeding the garden, adding a new layer of mulch, splitting some hostas and planting flowers in the rock garden below the “Welcome to ABC Streets” sign.
On Saturday, May 12, over 35 neighborhood residents participated in the annual City sponsored Clean Sweep. The group gathered at 9 AM at Morrison Park for coffee and doughnuts provided by the ABC NA. Teams were established and street assignments were handed out by Board members Lorrie and George Lorson. By 9:30 AM teams of all ages were busy beautifying all the ABC streets and returned to Morrison Park by 11 AM laden with their trash bags and began weeding Morrison Park.
The ABC NA would like to give a special thanks to our new neighbors at The Armory on Culver Road, Erdman Anthony & Associates Inc, for providing 10 volunteers to assist us in this neighborhood event.
The Monroe Avenue Merchants Association is requesting submissions for three artistic bike racks for the Monroe Village business corridor. Submission deadline is May 25, 2012. Please click on PDF file here MAMABikeRackCallforProposals for additional details.
Hi Everyone:
This is a reminder that Clean Sweep is this Saturday, May 12. We will meet at Morrison Park (Harvard and Culver) at 9:00 am. We will provide donuts, coffee and juice. Please RSVP by sending an e-mail to abc.streets@gmail.com. Include your shirt size so I can get you a free clean sweep t-shirt.

I hope everyone has had a chance to check out the “Welcome ABC Streets Neighborhood” sign in Morrison Park. If you normally enter/exit the neighborhood from the east side (Park/Colby at East Ave), be sure to take a “detour” to check out the new sign. It looks great. 
Thanks to everyone who helped with the sign installation. I want to thank board members Jim Hondorf, Kevin Hamblin, Matt Alexander, Maureen Duggan, Marianne Pastecki and Dave Burnet (our esteemed photographer). I also wanted to thank ABC Streets members Jim McIntosh, Tom Pastecki, and Nancy and Brian Sears for helping with the installation. It was a brisk morning but everyone hung in there and got the job done. Dave even made an “emergency” trip to Home Depot during the installation to buy longer bolts. Below are some pictures that David took during the installation. I hope everyone enjoys the pictures (and of course our new sign).

Hi All,
Last evening saw another wonderful holiday party for the ABC Streets Neighborhood. Why anyone would want to live anywhere else is beyond me 
This year was our second progressive party. It started at Eric and Bethany’s where jello shots were featured. Progressed to Matt and Elizabeth’s to test out the double kegorator! Then it was on to Bill and Matt’s to inspect their newly renovated kitchen, fabulous!! The final stop was as tradition would have it at Jim and Maureen’s! Great turn out of just wonderful people.
Thanks to all of the hosts and participants!
Happy Holidays!
Enjoy the photos HERE.
Thanks to everyone who made our first ABC St. Children’s Halloween Parade a huge success. We had about 30 kids come out along with their parents, grandparents, and friends. The kids walked along Harvard St. in their costumes and the parade ended with cider and donuts for all in attendance. I’m happy to say that this is now going to be an annual event. I hope everyone enjoys the pictures taken by board member Dave Burnet.
Thanks to all who attended the annual neighborhood association picnic Saturday August 20th and to those who helped set and take down the various canopies, tents, tables, chairs, etc. I want to give a special thanks to ABC St. Vice President Marianne Pastecki who did a vast majority of the work in getting the event off the ground. Also, a special thanks for board member Dave Burnet who was our official photographer at the picnic. Dave captured the picnic quite nicely – there are a lot of great shots in here.
The current board (Tom Hasman, Marianne Pastecki, Matt Alexander, Dave Burnet, Jim Hondorf, and George & Lorrie Lorson) was re-elected to another 2-year term. In addition, Tom has asked Maureen Duggan to stay on as Treasurer/Membership Director and Kevin Hamblin to stay on as Secretary (these two positions are appointed by the President per our by-laws). Both have accepted and will stay in their current positions. We’ve accomplished a lot this past two years and look forward to another successful term. Thanks for your support.
