From Judith Davidson we have this:

We have a French bookstore participating, several French clubs, and Cote’s will be providing Franco-American delicacies.  UML students will be performing French music of various sorts, and the English club will be doing Kerouac readings.  A couple of schools are participating (face painting and temporary tattoos), TD Bank (cookies, water, etc.), and we have storytelling about the neighborhood with help from a UML class that has been doing ethnographic case studies in the neighborhood.  If I can get it organized we will also have whist!!  Which I just learned was a favorite game of Franco-American immigrants.  Oh—Parks and Rec will be hosting games for young children, and there will be a ground breaking ceremony for the new pocket park that is being created in Gershlot.

No Bocce Ball?

The Points of Contract (POCs) for this event are Judith Davidson and Nataliya Poto.  The EMail is EastPawtucketville@gmail.com

From the flyer, here is the definition of East Pawtucketville:  North = Dracut; East = Riverside Drive; South = Merrimack River; West = Mammoth Road.

Go and enjoy.

Neighborhood Meeting

For John, BLUF:  East Pawtucketville on the march.

Here is a notice for an upcoming (two weeks hence) meeting of the East Pawtucketville Neighborhood Group.

The DTG is Monday, 2 February, from 7:00 to 8:30 PM.

The venue is McAvinnue Elementary School, 131 Mammoth Rd., Lowell, MA (Enter at the side door on Fourth Ave.)

Topics include:

• Nancy Pitkin, Trustee of the Lowell Public Library, will be joining us to talk about all the new, great services (online and traditional) that the library makes available for children, youth, and adults.  You would be surprised at all the library can do for you!
• Hearing from University, Lowell Police, and City Officials with updates on issues of interest to our neighborhood.  Come and share your experiences or raise questions about the issues of concern to you.
• Plans for the new year:  How can East Pawtucketville grow this year?

Here is an EMail Address:  EastPawtucketville "AT" gmail.com

At the risk of being wrong, I think that folks in all parts of Lowell could benefit from attending local neighborhood meetings.  We can learn by seeing how others are doing thing.
