Wanted to alert you that Paul Lamb and I will be leading an effort to plant and replant existing foliage at the basins of all trees on the 350 Blocks of CLEMENTINA and TEHAMA this coming SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH. We can use volunteers, so if you or someone you know would like to help (for an hour or all day), please let us know.
Meet us at 10am on Sunday, Nov 16th at:
363 Clementina St
San Francisco
Thanks,
Foster
UPDATE: Thanks for your help everyone, the new basins look great!
Please join us for a Neighborhood mixer and ClementinaCares fundraiser this Thursday, November 13 at Luce, inside the Intercontinental Hotel. We will share wine and appetizers to celebrate all we’ve done this year, and start to get geared up for 2009!
Ticket funds will help to continue the good work of ClementinaCares, Inc. including additional Tree Plantings in the Sprint of ’09, Janitorial Services, graffiti removal and beautification efforts, foliage plantings at the bases of trees and ongoing maintenance.
More details on the block party
Please join us for our annual pot-luck / block party. Catch up with old friends and greet our new neighbors, and see how the FUF trees have grown! We have plenty of napkins & plastic utensils. We need chairs, tables, plates, paper towels, cups, bowls and (of course) food. Please e-mail Brian Wallace for more information
Our next ClementinaCares meeting is on Tuesday, October 21st, at Vehicle SF (map). We look forward to seeing you there!
AGI Capital is hosting a streetscape / pedestrian experience design forum for the big project at 5th and Folsom. The meeting will be on August 5th at 6pm, and held at 260 5th Street (the Live Nation building).
AGI will present base designs for fleshing out the park, street-level commercial space, and general alleyway improvements. They’ve also posted on their website the updates from the last meeting we had with them and they also sent us the meeting minutes.
Our next ClementinaCares meeting is on July 8th, and like last time we will meet at Vehicle SF (map) at 6:15 pm. After the design charette from last meeting, we will get to see the renderings of the project. If you just can’t wait for the meeting, you can take an early peek at the drawings as well as good some commentary from the crowd at SocketSite.
We will have our next neighborhood meeting on Monday, May 5th at Vehicle SF (map) at 6:00 pm. The key item on the agenda is the design charette from the folks at AGI Capital, for the big new development going in at 5th & Folsom.
The San Francisco Police Department and the SF District Attorney’s office will have representatives at a special meeting sponsored by SOMBA to discuss neighborhood safety on Thursday April 8th at the Muse/Dekker Photography studio space at 224 6th street. If you want more police presence in SOMA or more action from the DA, please come and show your support!
We have a bunch of new photos from our tree planting. Thanks again to all of our wonderful neighbors and volunteers
With help from the good people at Friends of the Urban Forest, an after nearly a year of planning, our hard work culminated in a hugely successful tree planting event last weekend. Over 50 friends and neighbors spent most of Saturday together and planted over 60 trees in the ClementinaCares area.
Over 50 people helped with the planting
