Bissett Neighborhood Association will hold a wide variety of activities this year!
Street cleanup
This spring, BNA will begin doing street cleanups to help beautify our neighborhood.
Garbage bags will be provided, along with reflective vests for safety, but please bring your own work gloves and closed-toed shoes or boots. Each cleanup will start at 9 a.m. and we expect it to take between one and three hours, depending on how many folks show up. Our next street cleanup will be April 27 on Hillcrest Avenue, from Nichols to Chestnut streets. We’ll meet at the intersection of Nichols and Hillcrest.
Neighborhood cleanup
Our annual Neighborhood Cleanup will be held 8 a.m.-noon Saturday, June 1 at the Bissett Elementary west parking lot. Be looking for more information via a mailing as we get closer.
Yard Zale in July
Based on the huge success of our neighborhood-wide Yard Zale last July, we plan to hold another this summer as well as our annual Neighborhood Night Out. Most likely, the Yard Zale will be in July with the NNO in August. More info will be forthcoming on our Facebook page. Feel free to call or email me if you’re not on Facebook.
Membership meetings
Our next regular membership meeting will be Tuesday, April 9 at Bissett Elementary. The meeting will be at 6:30 p.m., with an optional pot luck dinner at 6. This meeting will feature a presentation by our new Community Health Advocate from the Springfield-Greene County Health Department, Jamie Orlando. There have been a variety of exciting changes to the CHA program, so come to the meeting to learn more about how the program can benefit you and your family.
Remaining regular membership meetings for 2019 will be held May 14, July 9, Sept. 10 and Nov. 12, so mark your calendars! The July 9 meeting will be our first ever to be held at the new L.A. Wise Park Pavilion, while the rest are planned for Bissett Elementary. All meetings will start at 6:30, and preceded by the optional pot luck dinner at 6.
