Thanks to everyone who came out and helped clean up the bulletin board and to those who stuck around for our organizational meeting. We added a new summer theme to the board, and now have a schedule for maintenance by our various volunteers.

Here are some pictures from the meeting:

Bulletin Board Summer Update!

logansquare — Fri, 23 May 2008 05:30:35 +0000

Our bulletin board is doing great but is in need of some attention, so….if you want to get involved, we’re having a meeting at the site on Saturday May 31st 1pm. Our goals are to perform upkeep and refresh the informational postings, then meet for coffee to discuss further volunteer opportunities.

3 Things you can do:

1) Come to our meeting at the bulletin board (under the California stop) on Saturday May 31 at 1pm! Bring your friends and a stapler if you have one!

2) If you are a member of a local community group and want a flyer posted, email a PDF or Word doc to the address below by May 29. If you come to the meeting, you can also bring anything helpful you would like posted.

3) Too busy to help out? You can always donate to our project. Donations help pay for supplies to maintain the usefulness and (dare I say?) beauty of our little bulletin board. Donate here: http://neighborsproject.chipin.com/logan-square-bulletin-board

Hope to see you there!!

Bulletin Board Sucessfully Revived!!

Thanks to the volunteers who showed up on Saturday to help out remake the Bulletin Board!! It was a success, we were able to quickly remove the plexiglass and put up some postings gathered from Logan Square Neighborhood Association. Our next meeting time will be posted soon, so if you want to get involved in the upkeep, you can.

Here are some photos from the work party:

Here is the bulletin board with the dirty plexiglass in place.
It was hard to read stuff through the residual gunk and grime.

The transformation is complete!
