Month: October 2024

The Mentelle Neighborhood Association’s annual membership meeting will be at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 13, at the meeting room behind the Children’s Advocacy Center of the Bluegrass, 162 N. Ashland Ave.

This is an opportunity for you to ask questions and share your ideas for making our neighborhood better. We will have brief updates from the association, as well as from Third District Council Member Hannah LeGris and Warehouse Block owner Chad Walker. We hope to have someone from the city’s engineering division there discuss storm sewer work in neighborhood planned for next year.

The association also will elect officers and directors for one-year terms. All current officers and directors ( listed here ) have expressed interest in serving again, but other interested neighbors are welcome to run for an office or board position. If you are interested, please email President Tom Eblen.

 

A small black spatula and a serving spoon were left behind at Sunday’s neighborhood picnic. If they are yours, you can find them on the porch table at 52 Mentelle Park.

Thanks to everyone who came out for the annual Mentelle neighborhood potluck picnic. We had a great crowd and a lot of good food and drink. If you aren’t a member of the Mentelle Neighborhood Association and would like to help support more social events like this, please join here.

The annual Mentelle neighborhood potluck picnic is Sunday, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Mentelle Park median nearest Cramer Avenue. All Mentelle neighborhood residents and business owners and their families are welcome to attend. (We were sorry to have to postpone it from last Sunday, but this week’s sunny and warm forecast looks much better!)

The Mentelle Neighborhood Association will provide plates and utensils, as well as ice water, iced tea and lemonade. But we’re asking each person / family to bring a dish or two to share — meats, vegetables, salads, fruits and desserts. This is a great time to impress your neighborhood with your specialty dish.  If you’re not a great cook, a bucket of fried chicken would be just fine! Also bring any additional beverages you desire.

We will have a limited number of tables, so you might want to bring a lawn chair, too. We had a great turnout last year, and we hope to see everyone there again this year.

If you haven’t signed up to bring a dish, please click here to do that.
