In case you missed the last post, we still need your help with our grant application for the City of Dayton neighborhood mini-grant program. If you have ideas or would like to get involved, please attend our next general meeting on August 5, 2008 at 7 p.m. in the Liederkranz building.
In other news, check out the new Garden Tour photo album on the SAH website. It's the same photos we saw previously, but they look a lot better on the new page.
Also, I hear turnout was good at last weekend's PPD party. I hope everyone had a good time. Unfortunately, I was burnt to a crispy pink color at the Air Show and wasn't feeling very social that evening!
Finally, please note that there has been some reported thefts in the neighborhood lately, so keep an eye on your things. The neighborhood watch program is still in effect, but your help is needed to keep our community safe. Always call 333-COPS if you see anything suspicious or dial 911 in an emergency.
Other than that, it has been pretty quiet on the Hill. Enjoy your summer!

Grant Ideas?
The City of Dayton has announced a neighborhood mini-grant program. The St. Anne's Hill Historic Society is looking for your input on what you would like to see in your neighborhood. What would you do with a few thousand dollars to improve our community ?
Keep in mind, it would be on a very limited budget. However, this is a great opportunity to leverage City money to make the most of our fundraising efforts. Some ideas include banners, large flower planters, permanent sculptures, or even water lines for our neighborhood parks.

Nineteen
-
Nineteen is a magic number this month! On July 19, we'll have 2 special neighborhood events.
First is the semi-annual Alley Sweep, where neighbors help neighbors get rid of all their junk. The City provides the garbage truck and everybody piles trash inside. I'm sure some of it will be leftovers from the Trash 'N' Treasure sale last week. Volunteers will be rewarded with breakfast AND lunch.
That evening is the monthly social we know and love as the PPD - Porch, Patio, and Deck party. This is a progressive dinner of sorts, where three or four neighbors offer up their yards for a fun night out. There is a nominal cost to cover the food and drink.
If any of that sounds like a fun way to spend 19 hours or so, then contact us or watch for a flyer on your doorstep with more information. If not, I'll suggest that you wear your St. Anne's Hill t-shirt proudly at the Air Show.
