If we could somehow convince you that it is important for the quality of life in our neighborhood that we must show unity Did you know that, if you take your food coupons to the Senior Center, members of A A R P will take them to the grocery stores and attach them to packages of products and when redeemed by the buyer at the checkout stands~ the Senior Center will receive the amount of the coupon? About $5,000 has been raised this year for the Center through this program. Please contribute and strength to get the most out of available funds, I am sure that more of you -would join our group.

SPEAKERS Our September meeting will provide two interesting speakers: Brad Tate, principal of the High School and Tom Murray from the Boar~ of Education will bring us up to date on current school affa1rs. The Board would like to hear from any and all about who you would like to have address us at our meetings and what topics would like to have discussed. you Brook Creek Neighborhood Association is exactly what the name states. It is concerned with the welfare of the entire area. It is a channel for getting information to you from the city and in turn making neighborhood needs evident to the city commission. It also prepares and presents projects suggested by the members to the commission in charge of Federal funding for neighborhood projects, such as drainage, street repairs, sidewalks, water lines, and tree plantings. Now, if we do not have enough members to carry on our representation we do not know what the neighborhood needs and we will lose the benefits available to us, and "YOU" are one of those important to carrying on our organization.It is necessary to have a concensus of the neighborhood before requesting improvements. Those neighborhoods with strong memberships are the ones receiving the most benefits. If you have had YOUR problem solved, don't stop coming- be there to help your neighbor as he was there to help you. �ACHIEVEMENTS Some benefits which we have been able to get through our efforts have been: The East Lawrence Center Building,paving of 15th St., sidewalks the length of 15th Street; playground equipment for BrookCreek and Edgewood Parks; a fountain and restroo~ facilities at Brook Creek Park, trees and shrubs for some parkings, water lines along Oakhill and Thirteenth Streets.What suggestions do you have? MEETINGS Meetings are held the second Wednesday in the month at the East Lawrence Center, 15th at Brook St. at 7:30 in the evenings in the months of September through June.

Would you like to have the plan discussed at a future meeting ? Let us know. Call 843-0471. so - Bring your dishes, your childre~)your neighbor, and your dues ($1) and be ·there September 9. We will WELCOME you. A SMILE SAYS A LOT A smile's a warm expression that has the nic~st way Of telling all the special thoughts our hearts would like to say It says ni'm glad I'm friends with you". It says "I think you're grand and when you're feeling all alone it says~"I understand''. It happens when you hear good news bout someone nice you know. It happens when you're all dressed up and have some place to go. There really isn't very much a smile can't do. It says,"thank you" when a friend of yours does something just for you. And when you do something thoughtful( as you've often done for me The smile that says"you're welcome" is as warm as it can be. And sometimes best friends disagree about silly stuff- and then The smile that says"I'm sorryilwill patch things up again. A smile's a happy little curve that has a magic way of straightening up andbrightening up even a cloudy day. And when a smile gets extra large from some extra fun-filled joys- Then we call it laughter- a smile making a noise. But sometimes when we're busy we forget the way a smile can make every thing we're doing even more worthwhile. A~d since smiles arethe sunshine the world can't do without Heres hoping that you'll always find a lot to smile about. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
