INC NEWS - Neighborhood Challenge

[RW Pickle]

Please pass this along to your neighborhood list servers.

The Forest Hills Neighborhood Association tonight adopted the same
resolution supporting the Erwin Area Neighborhood Group in their quest for
a park of their own (ours as well, but it's in their back door) as INC
did. Our Neighborhood Challenge of $500 to the other neighborhoods in
Durham has been take up so far by Duke Park and Northgate Park. Your
neighborhood not mentioned?  Tell your neighborhood to step up! It's all
about parks. If your neighborhood has stepped up and I don't know about
it, tell me so I can include them in the list of supporters telling the
four governments involved that we all care and want this to happen. Never
heard about this? www.erwinneighbor.org will help you out. For us over
here, it's all about cleaner water. Something we all should be concerned
about.

If your looking for something to do this Friday and enjoy dancing and good
music, the EANG "Music for the Park" event below may be right up your
alley. And it's tax deductable!
