No doubt the coronavirus has really hurt our ability to hold many activities, but we are optimistic that things will gradually pick back up as the year goes on. First and foremost is the ever-popular Neighborhood Cleanup. It has been rescheduled for Saturday, Sept. 12, 8 a.m.-noon at the Bissett Elementary west parking lot.
We plan to hold two regular neighborhood association meetings: Tuesday, July 14 and Tuesday, Sept. 8. Both will be held in the L.A. Wise Park Pavilion, so there will be plenty of room to spread out if social distancing is still in effect. Meetings will begin at 6:30 p.m. with an optional pot luck beforehand at 6 p.m.
Unfortunately, the annual neighborhood-wide yard sale has been cancelled due to concerns about COVID-19. We’ll plan to get back on our annual cycle for this event in July 2021. We have the same situation with the Neighborhood Night Out. In recent years, we have held this even in conjunction with the Bissett Elementary Open House in August. We may still try to hold a similar event later this year, but for now, you can assume the normal August event will not happen.
If there is one thing we have all learned these last several months is the benefit of staying flexible, so we encourage you to keep tabs with our Facebook, or drop an email or call to keep up BNA and to learn of any changes to the above schedule should conditions warrant them. We hope that each resident of our neighborhood is staying safe and healthy – not only related to the virus, but also with all the stress it has caused.
