SNA Greening Day – Sunday December 9, 9 – 11 a.m., Detroit Steps

Hi everyone,

Clear days, no rain, is predicted for the next week or two, and that means the weeds on Monterey are growing ever more quickly. But the ground is soft, a good time to start the winter weeding. Can you join us Sunday morning 9am – 11am, to weed the medians from the Detroit steps up through the Palm beds? We’ve tools & gloves, but bring your own kneeling pad. There’ll be coffee & cookies when we finish.

Foliage Exchange + Wreath Making at the Sunnyside Conservatory – December 16

Welcome! Foliage Exchange + Wreath Making

5th annual event: Sunday, December 16, 2012, 12-3, Free.

Share in the holiday spirit—and evergreen bounty from your garden—in our restored Conservatory.  It’s a great day of wreath and garland making with a hyper-local twist.  Through a foliage exchange, create a holiday treasure—and tradition—in which the uniqueness and generosity of neighborhood shines through. A big thank you to loyal Friend Sally Ross for organizing us once again.

A variety of greens provided, some with red berries, variegated foliage, as well as blue juniper, Queen Ann box, pine, wire, a few coat hangers and pruning shears.  Please bring: own pruning shears (so you don’t have to wait for others), your frame, ribbons, cones, and any clippings to share from your yard.

This event is part of the Friends’ desire to promote the ideals of sustainability in our own backyards: wreath making, seed swaps, or growing backyard fruit trees and produce. All that is old is new again.

To manage daily police patrols and other activity, the station house reviews a series of specific focal points (passing calls, crime patterns, critical infrastructure/landmarks/venues) and produces a list of specifics  for police officers to deal with – this is called The Ingleside Station Daily Mission
  • The Ingleside website (inglesidepolicestation.com) now has a Community Events page. If you would like a flyer or information for your event posted there, please visit the website
  • ALERT the Auxillary Law Enforcement Response Team: This is a newly launched volunteer police program. During an emergency or disaster, volunteers will do well-being checks, traffic patrol, work phone lines, or be dispatchers.
