Donations

Hello All,

We are in need of donations for our next park's beautification phases. If anyone has any plants, especially perennials, bushes, flowers, ground covering plants, ivy, or anything you would like to give us, we would really appreciate it. We are going to try to do garden beds along each entrance as well in the months to come. Please comment on the Blog to let me know.

Many thanks,

Your Neighborhood Watch Captain

Yesterday's Beautification Event

Good Morning All,

Yesterday was Phase I of our very first Beautification Event. I have to admit that initially I was very disappointed at some negative e-mails towards my want to beautify the park, the lack of response, and the lack of folks that showed up, however, it all turned out absolutely wonderful! It was a HUGE task but we completed it!
The people that did show and the folks that stopped by to drop off water and donate flowers was great. We had about 10 yards of topsoil and 10 yards of mulch delivered by the town yesterday morning and we moved it all by wheelbarrow to the area where the large bush was removed early this spring per my request. The town also brought in a stump and root remover and ground that all up for our event. As you frequent the park you will see the great job the folks that came to help out did. It is a start. There was no way we could do the entire park yesterday; as it was, we worked from 11am till 5:30pm on just the Morris Ave side. If we had more folks, we definitely could have gotten a lot more done.

SachemPatch.com was also in attendance at our event and did a story on Dorchester Park. You can read about it on SachemPatch.com. See link at top right of our Blog.

I want to personally from the bottom of my heart thank the folks that came to help out and drop off supplies. I know we are all sore today! Thank you for caring about this park; I hope that one day it will be as beautiful as we envision it to be.

Yesterday's Beautification Event

Beautification Event at Dorchester Park, 05.21.11 11am-3pm

Just a reminder and hope all that are attending are ready to clean-up the park!

Morris Ave entrance

I have asked for stump & root removal for our Beautification Event before May 21st. Hope it gets done by then. I do not like how they left this after Bush removal! Terrible!

Play-yard Tube & half bubble

I have asked a million times for replacement since last years "bombing incident". Will keep on top of Town.

Track and Gates

I have asked for track repair and repaving and for gates again- not getting a response but will continue to press them.

Graffiti

This newest graffiti has been reported to the Town and also to SCPD. I have asked Town to power-wash again this past week.

Beautification Event at Dorchester Park, 05.21.11 11am-3pm

Good Evening All,

Just wanted to remind everyone about our Beautification Event on Saturday May 21st from 11am-3pm.

If you have not responded as to if you can make it or no, please do so.
I do not have many responses at all...only 10 people out of 70 families in the Neighborhood have responded.
If it remains at 10, I am going to possibly cancel.

Please let me know as soon as possible.

Many thanks for your time.
