2013 Monterey Blvd. weeding in full swing, join us! Sunday 1/6 at 9 a.m.

Sunday Jan 6th 9am – 11am for some weeding and trash pick up. We’ll start at the top of Circular, at the Monterey/freeway intersection. Look for us on Circular just below the intersection, or on the first Monterey median. We look forward to seeing you!
We also have succulents to plant if we find good spots.
There’s much weeding & cleaning up to be done on both Monterey and Circular during the winter/spring months. We hope you – our Sunnyside neighbors – can help keep these two major areas attractive by joining us on some Sunday mornings.

Check ‘n Go borrowers eligible for $4.3 million in refunds in three-month statewide drive

SF city attorney’s office has learned through the court process that many borrowers are medium-income families and that installment loans are popular with your constituency.  Check ‘n Go’s customer base is in the Central Valley, Greater Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Jose and San Francisco areas.  And since these refunds are for borrowers who took out loans online, they truly are all over California–even in cities without brick and mortar stores.

These refunds could be up to $4,600 each and at this time of year that money could really be used by California families.

A web site dedicated to this settlement that has all the details and background:www.CALoanRefund.org
Over the next weeks they will also be adding tools to help you spread the word under the “How to Help” tab on the website.  Also, if you know of other organizations I should reach out to please let me know, or simply forward on this email.  They need all the community partners possible.

Sewer pipe replacement on Flood Avenue nears completion

Flood AveThe past few weeks have been busy on Flood Avenue.  PG&E was in the process of replacing the aging gas pipes, when it was discovered that the city sewer pipe had a major leak.  The entire city sewer line between Edna and Foerster streets has been replaced.  PG&E will resume their work upon completion, and residents will be able to access Flood Avenue again.
