VOLUNTEER HELP NEEDED…

Our largest fundraiser needs your help!

Volunteers are needed to supervise at each home during tour hours. The tour shifts for October 2nd (Saturday) & October 3rd (Sunday) are in approximately 3 hour increments with 2 people planned to a house.

The shift times for both days are 11am – 2pm & 2pm – 5:15. You’re more than welcome to volunteer for 1 or more shifts on either day!

If you can not do a complete shift, please reach out to us anyway. We may be able to accommodate and will most likely be able to use your help!

As appreciation for your volunteer services, 1 Tour & 1 After Party ticket will be provided to you! This will be a great opportunity to mix and mingle in the post activity with all the JP Tour members, home owners, and other volunteers.
I hope that you will take part in this year’s event! Should you be inclined, please respond back by Sunday, September 19, 2009 to jeffersonparktourofhomes@gmail.com.

Hello neighbors:

The sweltering heat certainly did not deter close to 100 neighbors from coming out and celebrating summer at the JPNA Block Party held this past Saturday June 26th. Great food, friends, family, sno-cones, moonwalks, music, the Fire Dept. Safe House for kids and even a visit from EP Mayor Earnestine Pittman rounded out the celebration.

HUGE THANK YOU’S are in order for the coordinators: JPNA Board Members Bobby Willoughby and Mari Bishop, for pulling it all together and wrangling JPNA Board Members and the fabulous neighborhood volunteers who worked so hard to make this event happen. ALL OF YOU ARE THE BEST!

BIG THANKS: to the East Point Police Department,the East Point Fire Department, In Concert Productions, More Than Moonwalks, Pike’s Nursery and KROGER on Cleveland for their generous support of the event.

Update on Energy Efficiency Grant

Admin — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 21:45:07 +0000

Greetings!

East Point has been awarded the EECBG grant to fund three programs for our residents:
Residential tankless water heater retrofit.
Residential weather stripping and insulation.
Residential energy efficient HVAC retrofit.

AJC Article – April Hunt was NOT correct

April Hunt reported in the AJC that the lottery would consist of a “cash disbursement” for the funds to those who are selected in the lottery. This is NOT correct. There will be NO cash disbursement. The contractor will receive payment directly from the city. Details are outlined below.

Important details before you continue reading this article

The first two dates are set, however, there will be two additional dates to be set that will be advertised through the utility bill.

Everyone will have the opportunity to participate.

The first two meetings:

June 19th – 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
June 29th – 06:30 PM to 08:00 PM

Both meetings will be at the Jefferson Park Recreation Center.

You may only participate if you meet all of the following criteria.

1. You must be an East Point resident.
2. You must live in and own your home as a primary dwelling.
3. Rental properties are not eligible.
4. Tenants are not eligible.
5. Investors are not eligible.
6. Residential dwellings shall not exceed 2,000 SF.
7. You must attend one of the four community meetings.
8. You must submit to a pre-inspection by a city inspector.
9. Cost is for material and unit only. Any additional work required will be the home owners responsibility and must be paid prior to confirmation of eligibility.
10. Inspection by the contractor will be required to provide cost of repair to East Point.

Lottery process

Lottery system will be implemented to select the residents for receiving the grant opportunity.

Residents may only enter their name in one of the three programs.

Residents must pass pre-inspection by city building inspector. If unqualified or if residents is not willing to pay for any additional cost, the next resident selected will be notified of their opportunity to participate.

—–One decision that Council must make is to offer this lottery with a 20% to the selected resident or to offer it to the resident with no match. No match simply means fewer people will be selected to receive the grant.

Proposed Fitness Studio Survey – Help Needed!

Admin — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 12:07:42 +0000

A lovely neighbor of Egan Park is thinking strongly about bringing a new fitness business to the area, and needs your feedback. I have spoken with her and she feels that getting your opinion…our neighbors, is the best market research for her to consider. Please see her note below and if you have a moment, take the short survey by clicking the link below. THANKS!!

Dear Jefferson Park Resident,

I live nearby in Egan Park and have been considering opening a boutique style fitness studio nearby and have created a survey which will hopefully help in the planning process. The idea is for a modest size, thoughtful facility that caters to our little part of the world!

The survey contains its own instructions and a place to direct questions. At this point, I just need to get the information out there!

Thank you so much!
