This is an opportunity for you to ask questions and share your ideas for making our neighborhood better. Here’s what is planned:

• Updates from neighborhood association officers.
• An update from Third District Council Member Hanna LaGris.
• An update from Warehouse Block owner Chad Walker.
• Mark Sanders, the engineering section manager in the city’s Division of Water Quality, will discuss storm sewer projects planned in the neighborhood over the next year.

The association also will elect officers and directors for one-year terms. All current officers and directors have expressed interest in serving another term, and no members responded to a call asking for other candidates. However, additional nominations, if any, will be accepted at the meeting.

We hope to see all members there!

If such legislation, which was proposed last year, is passed and becomes law, there likely could be no limit on how many properties in our neighborhood could be converted from full-time residences into short-term rentals. It would reverse the local ordinances Lexington has approved.

If you have opinions about this issue, contact state lawmakers.

This is an opportunity for you to ask questions and share your ideas for making our neighborhood better. We will have brief updates from the association, as well as from Third District Council Member Hannah LeGris and Warehouse Block owner Chad Walker. We hope to have someone from the city’s engineering division there discuss storm sewer work in neighborhood planned for next year.

The association also will elect officers and directors for one-year terms. All current officers and directors ( listed here ) have expressed interest in serving again, but other interested neighbors are welcome to run for an office or board position. If you are interested, please email President Tom Eblen.

The Mentelle Neighborhood Association will provide plates and utensils, as well as ice water, iced tea and lemonade. But we’re asking each person / family to bring a dish or two to share — meats, vegetables, salads, fruits and desserts. This is a great time to impress your neighborhood with your specialty dish.  If you’re not a great cook, a bucket of fried chicken would be just fine! Also bring any additional beverages you desire.

We will have a limited number of tables, so you might want to bring a lawn chair, too. We had a great turnout last year, and we hope to see everyone there again this year.

If you haven’t signed up to bring a dish, please click here to do that.

The Mentelle Neighborhood Association board has decided to postpone the neighborhood potluck picnic a week, to next Sunday, Oct. 6.  The Lexington area is expected to get significant rain for the next three days as Hurricane Helene comes ashore on the Gulf Coast of Florida.

Please keep the people in seriously affected areas in your thoughts and prayers, and we hope to see everyone next Sunday at 5 p.m. in the Mentelle Park median. If you haven’t signed up to bring a dish, please click here to do that.

The annual Mentelle neighborhood picnic will be 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday, September 29 in the north median of Mentelle Park (nearest to Cramer Ave.)  Last year’s potluck format was so successful, we’ve decided to do it again.
