Rockhaven Sanitarium work party; status update

[Sharon W]

From Jay's volunteer list - see below if you'd like to join.

Our next Rockhaven work party has been scheduled as follows:

Saturday, July 24, 2010
2 to 4 PM
Rockhaven Sanitarium
2713 Honolulu Ave., Glendale

As is usual at our work parties, we will do light clean-up and possibly some minor work to reduce the likelihood of water damage. Please bring hand tools you might need need and a broom and dustpan, if possible.

If needed, we will continue with our "Clean the Rain Gutters" effort. Those who would like to participate should bring gardening gloves and a trowel; ladders will be supplied.

Also, you are reminded that Layla Bettar, the City of Glendale's project manager for the Rockhaven Sanitarium restoration, will be at the Historical Society meeting next Monday, July 19, to give us a brief update on the status of Rockhaven.

Hope to see you on the 24th,

I know this group is interested in helping shape how the restoration evolves and being part of the maintenance crew gets you inside to look around. Jay is a retired JPLer who lives on the edge of Glendale - his backyard abuts Tujunga.

The meeting he mentions is the Historical Society of the Crescenta Valley, Monday, July 19 starting at 7 pm at the Center for Spiritual Living at Dunsmore and Santa Carlotta in La Crescenta.

The main program is by Don Urquidez, descendant of Don Jose Maria Verdugo, on the Spanish Soldiers of the mission era so I can understand if coming to suggest a women's peace garden might seem weird. His group does reenactments of establishing the California missions - not my favorite history!

I just wanted to give everyone the opportunity to hear what's going on.

This is fantastic, Sharon. Thanks so much for the fine report and fun stuff to think about besides HOW HOT IT IS HERE!
You are refreshing, indeed!

And you mentioned "abuts".

It just seems strange to me to have the city border not along a street. Jay lives on the west side of Lowell but still in Glendale.

Sent letters & Monk cards with Jeanne's proposal to Chairman Chapjian & Councilman Drayman. Thanks for the tool kit, Jeanne.

Thanks for doing that, Nancy. Roberta helped with the kits. I'm sorry I will miss the meeting tonight. Michael will be going there. I can't make it to the work party either. One of these months, I'll manage to keep a Saturday free.

And thanks to everyone who were spreading waves of peace in Glendale.

Alas, it's been two weekends since we've checked in with Brian's Mum (parental unit), so we are going to the hellish hot desert to help out there. Sorry to miss this event. It sounds like fun. Hope to join in next time!
