A Note from Anne

Hi everyone, below is a lovely note regarding our recent 350 event, as well as details of events and initiatives happening in Monteseel.
Thanks Anne!


Hello Everyone

*350.org Moving Planet 27 August 2011 *

Twenty nine Monteseelians, from babies in prams to grannies, gathered
at the park for this event. We had a 75% turn out from Monty’s Edge-
that is community spirit. Cora drew blue arrows (the symbol of the 350
organisation) on squares of cardboard so that everyone could have a
“necklace”. Sylvia and Rosalie agreed to lead the group and we set
off with prams, bikes and on foot, up Magdelene Avenue on a route
around the perimeter on Monteseel. The leaders set a pace that
initially even left the bikes behind!!! Those of us who are less fit
returned to the park as we, or our little ones, got tired. I saw 5
bikes complete the whole route, and four adults and two young ones
completed it on foot. Thank you everyone, I think we all had fun. Next
year we must try to combine this event with National Braai Day.

At the July Neighbourhood Watch meeting a number of people agreed to
help with the R250 per week funding for the ladies who are clearing
around the Park.If there is anyone else who would like to help with this
please let me know and I will add you to the list.

We have put aside the last Saturday of the month for Monteseel
activities. The verges around the Police station, where we have been
working, are looking great. There are two more Saturdays before the
end of the year- send your gardener or join us yourself, even if it is
just for a chat! Roy and his gardener have also been tackling the Carl
Street entrance – Thanks Roy.

29 October Work Party to continue at police station or security
entrances.
