There are two community events planned in the Standish-Ericsson neighborhood this week.
SHORELINE CLEAN-UP
On Thursday, May 16, volunteer for an hour to perform a quick clean-up of the Lake Hiawatha shoreline.
SENA will supply: Bags, cotton gloves, and grabber/pickup tools.
You supply: You, in shoes/boots that can get dirty, and long pants to protect legs when walking through brush.
To show their appreciation for taking care of the neighborhood, Buster's on 28th is offering to buy the first 12oz beer/pop afterwards for all participants.
“Meet some new neighbors, clean the lake, and get a free drink,” urges SENA staff member Bob Kambeitz. “It's a win, win, win! We'll be meeting at the Lake Hiawatha Park building (at the corner of 44th St. and 27th Ave.).”
Email bobk @ standish-ericsson.org if you plan to attend. Please include how many will be in your party.
MOSAIC FEST
Roosevelt High School’s annual Mosaic Festival is set for this Friday, May 17 from 3:30-7:30 p.m.
Mosaic Fest is an annual event at Roosevelt, celebrating the cultural mosaic that makes our community special.

Food trucks will be in the parking lot. Student groups will sell cultural foods including Arabic, Asian, French and Oromo. Bring some cash to buy tickets for food items.

“We hope to see you there! Come out and celebrate spring's arrival,” urges Julia Schumacher.
