Dear Neighbors,

My name is Marina, and I live at 10711 Woodbine Street. I would like to invite all of you to participate in a street festival that I am organizing with a couple other neighbors. We are not part of any organization, we are just a bunch of people who live on Woodbine and other streets of Palms. We are calling our event the Palms Neighborhood Block Party. We are planning it for Sat, April 28th. (That is the same weekend as the Mayor's Big Sunday Weekend). We are a small committee right now and could use some more leaders/volunteers.

The reason being is this, we have just acquire about 20 trees from the organization Tree People (for Woodbine specifically) and they are  about to offer me more for this event (to plant as a community on  that day). Tree People mentioned Lawler and Rose. I get the feeling  that this is up for negotiation. I am also about to be offerred 100  volunteers from Disney who have decided that they are interested in  helping out with just this kind of event (part of Mayor's Big Sunday).

We are trying to organize folks here on Woodbine, but would be happy to include more people. Specifically, we need help going door to door to invite people toparticipate in the planning and to volunteer. This is a huge task and  we need more bodies. Please feel free to email me if you are interested in participating in ANY WAY. Or feel free to call me at 310.729.4619.

Any asisstance in this would be greatly appreciated. We are having a car and doggie wash on March 10 from 10-3 to start fundraising (10711  Woodbine). Let me know if you'd like to volunteer or sell pre-sale  tickets!
