From Jeremy Brennan:
This Saturday will be a community garden work day beginning @ 9am. We will be removing the remaining sod and cleaning bermuda out of beds, We will be adding other jobs throughout the week so there should be plenty to do. I have requested a load of mulch from green waste. Hopefully we can get it before the weather turns much colder.
Good news, we have a coa from the historic preservation commission for the fence that is to surround the garden.
Also, working w/ a local builder on donating time to constuct the pergola. No promises on when it will be in but the project is being worked on.
Bring your tools and come out for a good time of “gardening” with your neighbors.

Every week, Mayor Kathy Taylor sends out an email newsletter called Tulsa ENews. While scouring the ENews archives, Margee Aycock found a write up (and a tiny, albeit lovely, photo) of The Tulsa Spirit Monument dedication ceremony in the October 27th edition! As Margee said in her email… we rock!

No matter your political persuasion, I hope everyone had a great election day!
Mt. Zion Baptist Church was the place to be this morning! Chris and I went to the polls at 8am, hoping to beat the rush, and already there was a wait time of an hour and 45 minutes! It was wonderful to see such a great turnout, and we enjoyed visiting with our neighbors as we shuffled through the line that weaved around the church gym.
Hopefully this vote will inspire us all to become more active in future political causes in our community!
Thursday night, at 7pm, there will be an informational meeting at Centenary Methodist to learn more about the possible settlement in the John 3:16 expansion trial. This is a rare opportunity to hear from the attorneys working on the case, and to have your voice heard as well. The plaintiffs are interested in hearing from community members who will be impacted by the expansion and they would like input as to whether or not the settlement is acceptable.
Again, the meeting is at Centenary Methodist at 7:00 PM on Thursday, October 30.
