Ready to welcome warmer weather with friends and neighbors?

The days are getting longer; neighborhood children are all playing in the streets; we hear the sounds of mowers; flowers are blooming; short sleeves… This could only mean one thing — Spring has arrived! What a perfect occasion for a get-together with your neighbors or to spend a Sunday afternoon just celebrating spring with your family.

When : Sunday, April 3rd
Time : 12:30pm – 2:30pm (Easter Egg hunt will be at 1:00 pm)
Where : Mountainview Park
Who: All residents in the Mountain neighborhood are invited to participate

There will be fun activities for all, including our popular egg hunt for the kiddos. Bring a Frisbee, or take advantage of the spring breeze by flying a kite. The MNA will provide lemonade and some light refreshments. Consider bringing some amazing springtime snacks for all to share. Our hope is to take this beyond a two-minute Easter egg hunt and make it more of a neighborhood gathering.

As always, we need volunteers to make it happen; please help if you can. We will need volunteers in the following areas:

* Shopping (candies, lemonade and miscellaneous)
* Help with Setup
* Egg-stuffers/ hiders
* Drink Wrangler
* Face painters
* Clean up help

Please contact Usha Prasadh at if you are available and interested in helping.

Mark your calendar, and hope to see you all there!!

It's almost time for the annual picnic in the park; This year we are planning an Italian 
theme (with lots of vegetarian options) and all dishes guaranteed to have you singing 
arias! As always, we need volunteers to make it happen; please help  if you can.  Just 
a couple of hours of your time can be the difference between a terrific feast, oceans 
of camaraderie, and well, no picnic :( .
 
 We  have a signup available online--just follow the link below

All current member of the MNA are eligible to attend at no charge; visitors may 
partake for a nominal fee of $10 per person.

..................................................................................

For those who have never attended the MNA picnics, this is a lot of fun and a great 
chance to meet other people in the neighborhood.  The picnic is hosted for MNA 
members, but you can join at the picnic or simply pay on a per-person basis (although 
members have priority in line to make sure we don't run out of food).

Also, please consider volunteering... Randee has done a great job of hosting the picnics 
over the past several years and could use any help she can get.

Please send this invitation to your neighbors too.

Just a little bit of your time could make a huge difference.
