Updates!

We discussed a few things in the meeting last night.

1)  Fence Painting Completion
-waiting to hear back on whether the city has plans to replace the entire fence as a part of the   improvevment plan slated to start in the fall
-if the city will not replace the fence, we will schedule subsequent painting days
2) Movie Nights
-planning for 3 movie nights to happen on the 3rd friday in June, July and August
-Movies will be screened out doors at sundown and will be family friendly
-We are trying to figure out where to get a screen from - someone in the group has access to a projector!
3) End of Summer Celebration
-We discussed organizing a big summer festival in the park and many of the group members would rather have this kick off coincide with "back to school" to allow us to have more planning time
4) Better Communication Tools
-possibly starting a physical newsletter for us to communicate with the entire neighborhood- costs could be covered by strategic partnershis with local business
5) Summer programs and mentorship opportunities

Please shoot me an e-mail (fairmountisfun@gmail.com ) if you would like to talk about any of these further--or have anything to add to next meeting's agenda!

Next meeting and kickball game will be Wednesday, May 27th at 6:30 PM (Kickball at 7:30)

Ode to Joyous Kickball

On a cold and magical December's day,
Some really neat folks gathered to play.

They set up cones, invited friends on their phones and forgot all about their student loans.

At first it looked like the turn-out would be weak,
But one by one people started to sneak

Onto

the

field!

The teams got bigger as the game went on,
We got some kids and even a mom!

They played with great heart, soul and passion,
Laurent and Rashim wore some hot winter fashions.

From fouls to home runs the game did escalate,
Pitchers poison was the illest debate.

After the game we went to St. Stephen's Green,
With beers in our hands we were living the dream!

All in all we had a good time,
So good in fact, it caused me to rhyme.

Thanks to all who endured the cold,
Here's to playing kickball 'til we're 90 years old!
