CORONADO COMMUNITY GARDEN Sarah Schlabach [email protected] #gardencoronado The Coronado Dispatch | Summer 2016 Page 3 reetings Coronado! Before I get into some of the great things we’ve got going on, I thought I’d take a moment to introduce G your newly elected board. Our newest board members are Patrick Jordan (Director), Belen Konesky (Director), Alicia Vink (Secretary), Eric Paschal (Treasurer) and Sharon Frye (Director). We’re also fortunate to have returning board members Sarah Schlabach (Vice President), Cole Schlabach (Director) and Kelly Dinon (Director). I’ll be stepping in to take on the role of President. Speaking on behalf of the Board, we’re all excited for the great things we’ll do together this year! Now, onto the newest of the news... As many of you know, we’ve been operating the community garden and toolshed at the Maricopa Adult Probation office located at 1222 E Virginia Street for some time. The property was recently purchased by the Christian Fellowship Church located next door. The probation office operations were consolidated to the Garfield location, which left the current building vacant. The pastor of the church has offered to rent the property to the Coronado Neighborhood Association for a very reasonable rate. The offer was recently approved by the CNA membership and I’m happy to announce that we now have a true community center! We’ll be moving in this month and hope to be up and running very soon. This is a huge win for our neighborhood and will give us the infrastructure to create impactful programs that will benefit all of Coronado. Along with the creation of our first ever community center, we have expanded our garden through our partnership with Recycled City. We now have a ‘farm manager’ who will oversee the day-to-day operations of the community space and will assist in the expansion of the produce and garden space. We’ve already started the planning for our 30th anniversary Home Tour and have a fantastic group of people who have stepped up to get involved. This is by far the biggest fund raising event of the year for our neighborhood and requires a lot of planning. We’ve incorporated many of the suggestions from previous years’ tours and we’re confident that this will be our best Home Tour to date. This event takes a lot of work and is 100% volunteer based. I encourage you to reach out to our extraordinary Home Tour team, Doreen Pollack (chairperson) and Renee Jordan (co-chairperson) hometour@ thecoronadoneighborhood.com to get involved. It’s a great way to meet new neighbors and be part of a truly historic event. I’m often asked what got me interested in getting involved in the neighborhood. We do many great things in this amazing neighborhood and they all have one thing in common… community. This word can mean different things to different people, but to me it represents who we are. We all have unique backgrounds, interests and beliefs. And while we may not always agree, there is genuine care and concern for one another in Coronado. It is unlike any other place I’ve lived and I feel an obligation to help foster the spirit of community we have built and continue to build. Thank you all for making this the best place in the world to live… Michael Anderson, President, Coronado Neighborhood Association Page 4 The Coronado Dispatch | Summer 2016 Have an Event?
