District A
District A will be launched on 10/11/08!
Have you seen the Street Festival banners and posters? It's time
to get involved and join the fun of community building in Kennedy
Heights and Pleasant Ridge.
Visit www.district-a.org
to see the full
schedule of events and discover how you can help District A
succeed. We need people to greet our guests and to work behind
the scenes, to help set the stages and to take them down. Sign up
on-line for the job that suits you.
All of us will have plenty of time on 10/11 to enjoy the
Festival. Walk or run District
A with your family, friends or the neighbors you just
met cutting down tree limbs together. Try a free dance class at ballet tech.
Hear Adagio Trio, JazzItUp, the C.O.D.E., or a dozen other bands and
entertainers. Visit outdoor arts stations at Kennedy Heights Arts
Center, the Art Show & Sale at McFarland Corner, and five
'lifetime' artists of District
A (Noel and Coletta Martin, Gordon Baer, and Nancy and
Bruce Neville who will offer demonstrations). Enjoy Frisch
Marionettes and the magic of Tom Bemmes. Make community art
happen with Happen, Inc. All this and more is right here in District A on
Saturday, 10/11! Where else would you want to be?
