NOAH Update
Hello, Neighbors, and Happy New Year!
The Neighbors of Overbrook Association (NOAH) would like to update you on some neighborhoods developments:
NOAH's new website:
NOAH has a new website that will be unveiled shortly. The minute the finalized version of the website is ready to go, we will announce it via email.
This website will provide a host of information that fomerly could only be communicated from NOAH via emails, etc. We hope this will be a resource you can use and look to for assistance.
Again, look for an email announcing the website's URL coming soon.
NOAH's next board meeting:
NOAH's board will next meet on Thursday, 11 February, 2010 at 7.30pm at Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church in the house attached at rear of the church, at Marlyn Road and Lansdowne Avenue.
Board meetings are open to the public - if you need more details, please email Ryan Caviglia at noah19151@gmail.com.
The Village at 63rd Street Coffee Shop:
We would like to make you aware of a new coffee shop the just opened. It is called, "The Village" and is operated by Overbrook Farms resident, Steve Cunningham.
The Village is located at 2035 N. 63rd Street, just north of Woodbine Avenue, across from Our Lady of Lourdes Church.
For the time being, hours are limited to 7am to 6pm.
More details can be found at www.thevillageat63rdstreet.com
Note: NOAH does not endorse for-profit businesses to the public, but if a business has made a considerable investment in aesthetic improvements to its building, or surrounding area, or provides a new service to the community, we are willing to announce it on the email list.
Code Violations? Sanitation Problems? Let NOAH know!
NOAH has a good relationship with Councilman Curtis Jones and his staff; we also have a productive relationship with the Streets Department. If you have persistent sanitation or code violation issues on your block or that you see in the community, please let us know. We can report addresses and problems to the appropriate department/contact. Please also file the complaint with the City's 311 system - this is something that must be done for all violations that are reported.
Medians in Overbrook? They're not trash dumps.
Yet another holiday season has passed, and yet again people have discarded Christmas trees along landscape medians on Lebanon Avenue and Marlyn Road.
NOAH has announced for years that this practice must stop - it is a sanitation violation to dump trees on the medians.
The trees on the medians get taken away only because we report them to the Streets Department and beg for them to be picked up.
Volunteers maintain the plantings on these medians - they are meant to enhance, not trash, the community.
Trees should be discarded with your regular trash - if they are not taken on trash day, report it to 311 or the Streets Department; they should come again and take the trees.
If you see someone dumping any trash, etc. on the medians, please tell them to stop or report it to NOAH.
Nearly 600 daffodils will bloom along the medians on Lebanon this spring thanks to a dedicated volunteer that planted bulbs this fall; is this the sort of place trash should be dumped?
NOAH thanks you for your time, support, and good-neighborliness! Have a great rest of the month and if we can help you in any way, please email noah19151@gmail.com.
Respectfully,
Ryan Caviglia
Board Secretary
