From the President
Dear Friends:
As president of this association, one of my duties is to address crime.
I would first like to say that over the years, I’ve seen our neighborhood become a safer place in which to live.
Why is it that way? Because a number of residents began calling 911 and 311 whenever they saw suspicious activity. And guess what? The crime began to dissipate.
We have a wonderful working relationship with the officers in our district and we can help them help us by increasing our presence in the park and on our streets. (Yes, folks, the benches are there for us to sit and read. If we don’t use them, the drug dealers will.) We can also help by staying on the lookout and filling our anonymous crime action sheets with license numbers and personal descriptions anytime we see a person we think is buying or selling drugs. (If you don’t have an action sheet, see me at the meeting.) Remember, problems get worse by the minute. Let’s take back our streets before they get out of control.
Until next time, Karen Fretz, President
Union Square Association Partners with Sowebo Arts for Cookie Tour
In the spirit of the holidays, Union Square and Sowebo Arts have come together to make this year’s Cookie Tour the biggest event ever.
On the day of the Cookie Tour (which is Sunday, December 14th, by the way), Sowebo Arts will be selling limited edition Christmas cards made by local artists. All proceeds will go to Union Square Association.
Bill Adler has kindly agreed to host an art show on the same day at 100 S. Stricker St. Please contact him if you’d like to exhibit your work at the show.
The Black Cherry Puppet Theatre is hosting a special homemade Christmas Decoration Party. This party will be held prior to the Cookie Tour (date to be announced). It’s a chance for artists and non-artists, adults and children from the neighborhood to come together to make ornaments and enjoy the wonderful resource we have in this theatre. The ornaments made at this event will then be displayed on a Christmas Tree on the day of the Cookie Tour.
For information, or to volunteer for the Cookie Tour, see your block captain or email us at unionsquarenews@hotmail.com.
