    bump:

    Even though the garden has been sold, we are committed to going through with the free kids arts program planned for the summer

    There will be discussion of this at Tuesday's CHCA meeting: Tuesday, May 15, 7:30 PM -The Gospel Tabernacle Church/725 Franklin Ave/Between Park Pl. and Sterling Pl. Please come and help us regroup and plan for the summer.

    I am not available on Tuesday nights.... That said, if construction is starting soon, you have no claim to the lot, and it has just been sold, how are you still going to have those summer classes? It seems like trespassing.... Aren't thereto her legal places to do this? Backyards of local businesses? Other, official, parks? Just curious.

    I'll try make Tuesdays mtg.

    Yes, I'll argue that it is time for them to move on to a new squat for the garden. Ditto, the summer arts classes.

    Hopefully they can find a lot where there is a greater lag between them investing time and energy into it, and development. ....or where land is so cheap that agencies like Trust for Public Land or Green Thumbs are willing to administer it.

    ....Kingston Ave?

    We don't need an empty lot to have summer art classes, they just might not be outside, that said LaunchPad has offered space and we are going to team the Art Not Arrests program up with another mentoring initiative in the community.

    if you can't make our meetings then sign up to be on our mailing list to stay informed:

    I'll ask local people I know who live in coops and condos to see if they are able to let outside groups use the community rooms.
