Grant monies will be distributed from proceeds of Vegetable Garden Tours held in the summers of 2010 and 2011. Grant awards of not more than $500 will be made to applicants seeking funding for projects involving gardening, food production and education, and neighborhood beautification. All projects must be done in Ward 3 but those who live outside the ward can apply for funding for such projects. No portion of the grant monies may be used to pay salaries, and all projects must be completed within one year of date of award. The deadline for submitting an application for funding will be January 10, 2012. Final decisions regarding grants to be funded will be made by the review committee and the Board of Directors of the Ward 3 Neighborhood Association. Anyone having questions about the application form or process should contact Marian Geller at: mjg13@comcast.net or 584-2122.
Ward 3 Neighborhood Assn's Annual Meeting!
Residents of Ward 3 are invited to enjoy several events while socializing with friends and neighbors as part of the Annual Meeting of the Ward 3 Neighborhood Association on Sunday, October 23. The event will start at 1 p.m. in the clubhouse next to the Fair Street entrance of the Three County Fairgrounds, and families and children are welcome to join in.
The meeting will feature music by a band including City Councillor Owen Freeman-Daniels, an opportunity to talk about the Fairgrounds redevelopment program with officials of the Fairgrounds
Redevelopment Committee, tours of one of the three new magnificent barns that were built to accommodate horse shows and other events, and view a live cooking demonstration by a new Ward 3 organic farmer, Jesse Rosado, who also produces instructional cooking videos for website About.com that’s owned by the New York Times Company. Rosado will be preparing salt caramel apple crisp with locally-grown apples and samples will be available to those present at the Annual Meeting. We will provide ice cream as a topping for this dessert.
There will also be light refreshments donated by the East Side Grill and beverages donated by Stop & Shop.
The meeting will also feature a brief business meeting where the Association will elect its officers and directors for the following year, but the emphasis at this event will be on bringing people of the ward together for a fun, social, and educational afternoon.
Those attending the Annual Meeting will be encouraged to socialize with Ward 3 friends and meet new neighbors. Information about membership in the Association and its committees and projects will also be available. Residents will be able to sign up to serve on such committees as the annual Ward 3 Vegetable Garden Tour, the Traffic Calming Committee, the Sustainability Committee, and the new Committee on Agriculture, Food Production, and Preservation of Farmland in Ward 3.
Also at the Annual Meeting, we will announce details of our new program to distribute proceeds of the first two Ward 3 Vegetable Garden Tours. We will be making grant awards of up to $500 each for projects to be undertaken in the ward in the areas of gardening, food production and education, and neighborhood beautification. Application forms for these grants will be available at the Annual Meeting, and board members will be on hand to answer questions from those interested in applying for these funds.
