The Mentelle Neighborhood Association will have its regular monthly meeting via Zoom tomorrow at 7 p.m. Any MNA member is welcome to attend. If you would like to attend, email Tom Eblen for the link.

MNA board member Barbara Wagner wants to start a group of neighborhood residents interested in exploring ways to help us become more environmentally responsible.  Her idea is to try new ideas and approaches that might work in our neighborhood and even be models for other Lexington neighborhoods. If you are interested in participating in this group, email her at: barbwire8@twc.com.

Town Branch Commons, a linear park, walking and biking trail through downtown, is almost finished and will be dedicated in a ceremony Oct. 13.  Festivities begin at 9 a.m. with a community breakfast at MET Plaza, corner of East Third Street and Midland Avenue. There will be a ribbon-cutting at 10 a.m.  Click here for more information.

 

Mentelle Neighborhood Association members elect officers and directors for one-year terms each fall, with terms beginning Jan. 1.  Several vacancies are coming up next year, and the board’s nominating committee would like to hear from you if you have an interest in being added to the election slate for the annual membership meeting, Oct. 26  at 6:30 p.m.  (place still to be determined.)

Typically, new board members serve as at-large directors for at least a year before taking an officer’s position so they can get to know the organization, but that is not a requirement. Any MNA member can run for any office. The board meets monthly, except in December, on the third Wednesday evening of the month.

If you are interested in standing for election to the board, or have questions about whether board service might be right for you,  please email MNA Secretary Tom Eblen.

 

Thanks to everyone who organized, helped with and attended the neighborhood picnic last Sunday. If you want to help support future social events like this, please join the Mentelle Neighborhood Association.

The Mentelle Neighborhood Association is providing hamburgers and hotdogs. Please bring a side dish to share and your choice of beverage. We have a few chairs, but if you have lawn chairs you can bring for yourself and your family, that would be good.

The Mentelle Neighborhood Association will provide hamburgers and hotdogs. Please bring a side dish or dessert to share and your own choice of beverage.
