Saturday, June 2nd from 9 am – 2 pm
Start cleaning those closets, basements, attics and garages! It’s time for the ONA’s 1st annual neighborhood yard sale. This is a great opportunity for you to clean up the house, make money and also raise a little money for the ONA.
We are asking for a donation of $10/house (larger donations will be accepted as well) to participate in the yard sale. With the donation you will be included in all advertisements, including a map that will be distributed to all incoming traffic. The map will show the location of your yard sale which will ensure plenty of foot traffic at your yard sale.
Maps will be available on the ONA website (the link will be included in the ad) and will be available at 3 Brownlea Road.
Thank you to everyone who helped green-up Reardon Park, LaClede Avenue and the Snake Brook Trail. The event was a huge success with over 300 lbs worth of trash cleaned up in those areas. Some of the more interesting items found were:
* A quarter panel for a car
* A backseat for a car
* Seats to a boat
* A stainless steel kitchen sink.
Saturday, August 25th from 3-7 pm
Keep an eye on the website for more details
In the meantime, we are looking for people to help plan the event and for new, fresh ideas to re-energize the BBQ. If you would like to help or suggest ideas, please email Josh at jmulread@gmail.com
Green-up Day
In honor of the town wide initiative of greening up our neighborhoods, parks, streams, lakes, ponds and other surroundings, the ONA will be hosting a green-up day on Saturday, April 28th from 9 a.m. – 12 noon.
We will meet at Reardon Park at 9 a.m. and work on the following areas:
Please email Josh at jmulread@gmail.com by April 26th to register for the event.
Please keep these Do’s and Don’ts in mind when helping on Green-up Day
DO – Wear a long sleeved shirt and long pants
DO – pace yourself. Pick up litter and have fun!
DO NOT clear brush, leaves, grass clippings – trash only!
When in Doubt about any item, leave it, and report it to your green leader.
DO – use your legs as much as possible when picking up trash or moving it – this reduces backaches.
Keep Neat Piles at the centralized location- ask your green leader if you have questions
DO – be extremely cautious near roadways - Safety first!
DO – remember to recycle every day. Make every day a Green Up Day!
Oaks Neighborhood Association 2012 Easter Egg Hunt
Please save time on your calendars to join us for the annual Easter Egg Hunt!
When: Saturday, April 7th, 9:00AM sharp
Where: Reardon Park
The hunt will start at 9AM sharp, and it goes quickly, so please be on time and have your child/children bring a basket to put their eggs in.
As we have done in the past, we ask that you drop off 12 filled Easter eggs per child (candy or other treats inside) participating. Try to use wrapped candy only and if possible, try not to include candy with nuts (due to allergy concerns).
We will be collecting eggs ahead of time. You can drop the eggs off anytime Monday, April 11 – Friday, April 15. The egg drop off will be at the Mulready household on 3 Brownlea Road. They will have a large plastic container (with cover) near their front door. Please do not drop off eggs on the day of the hunt.
Volunteers are needed and welcome! Because of everyone’s help with events like these in the past, they have been met with huge success. THANK YOU!!
Please email Amy (amy.ferguson@rcn.com), Josh (jkccmulready@verizon.net) or Heather & Eliza at (elizatwilliamson@gmail.com) if you are willing to help out, and let them know what you’d like to help with.
