Getting Involved in UMHN

Maybe you’re new to the neighborhood, or maybe you’ve lived here for years… have you heard about us? We are a group of concerned residents living in the upper Mount Hope neighborhood. If you received this newsletter, and are reading this, you’re “one of us.” Our group, known as UMHN, exists to enhance the assets of the neighborhood and make living here more meaningful.
We work together with our business and city leaders, as well as our own neighbors, to continue the maintenance and improvement of our properties, our shared streets, sidewalks, parks, etc. We believe that our planned activities enhance the neighborhood and enrich our own lives, as well as those just “passing through.” Our organization is recognized as being the “go to” group if questions or issues relative to our area arise, and the media wants an answer or comment. Visit our web site www.umhn.com for details.
We Need Volunteers There are a number of areas where residents of the neighborhood can get involved: we encourage and seek your participation in the following areas: Being a Block Representative for the street you live on Joining in activities such as Canal Clean-Up Clean Sweep National Night Out Neighborhood Garage Sale Gardening in Mark’s Park Bringing your kids to planned Children’s Activities Of course, these events need to be planned weeks or months in advance; there are always opportunities for you to join in preparations for an event. We also have a Children’s Activities Committee Kids_Activities@umhn.com and a Safety Committe Safety_Committee@umhn.com which are looking for new people to join them. Another way to help is by assisting in delivery of our quarterly newsletter. We hand-deliver over 900 newsletters, and there is always a need for more people to help with that. Contact Cindy Knox at Distribution@umhn.com or by phone at 244-0309. Interested? Need more information? You are always welcomed to attend our monthly meetings held in the Meeting Room at St. Anne Church on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. If you would like to talk to someone about getting involved, you can email our President Dan Hurley at President@umhn.com or contact him by phone at 442-8106. If you want to be notified about important neighborhood information, crime alerts, reminders, updates, etc., subscribe to the UMHN e-mail list at www.umhn.com

President's Letter

Happy Spring Neighbors!
	The days are getting longer, air is warmer and the flowers are popping up all over. It’s nice seeing people out walking, running, biking, picking up the remains of last fall’s leaves and taking advantage of these longer, warmer days. If when doing any yard work, you know of someone who needs help getting their yard in order, offer to help them. With a little elbow grease, we can really get our neighborhood looking sharp.
And speaking of cleaning up the neighborhood, the City-wide Spring Clean Sweep starts Saturday, May 2, 8:30 AM at Cobbs Hill Park. There is an article on this website with more information. I will be out with many of our neighbors taking part in this as it’s not only a great opportunity to help clean our neighborhood, but also to get to know one another. Take care, Dan President@umhn.com
