Did you know that the Mentelle Park median is an official city park? That’s why the city arborists do such a good job of taking care of our trees, and the city landscaping crews keep it mowed in warm weather. But it’s up to us to keep it looking its best. That’s important, because the median is the site of several neighborhood gatherings each year, including the Easter Egg Hunt we had on March 30 and the fall potluck we will have in September.
Neighborhood volunteers will cleaning up the median on Saturday, April 20, beginning at 9 a.m. Please come out and join them if you’re free that morning. If questions, contact Jill DeBolt, co-chair of the median committee.
Thanks to everyone who came out for the annual Mentelle Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt this morning. Our neighborhood children found all 912 donated eggs within 10 minutes!
Special thanks to: Kim Naujokas, who organized the event and donated the coffee and Spalding’s donuts; Dean Holt, who starred as the Easter Bunny; and to all of you who donated candy-filled plastic eggs and cleaned up and prepared the Mentelle Park median for today’s event.

We look forward to seeing all Mentelle Neighborhood residents and their families tomorrow at 10 a.m. for our annual Easter Egg Hunt. Thanks to the generosity of our neighbors, we have plenty of eggs for another wonderful hunt this year!
We will gather in between the two medians closest to Cramer Avenue. Kids aged 5-10 will hunt on the first median (closest to Cramer) and those younger than 5 will hunt on the second median. The Easter Bunny will be with us for photos from 9:45 – 10:30 a.m. Complimentary coffee and Spalding’s Bakery donuts will be available for all neighborhood residents to enjoy.
See you at the hunt!
Our annual Easter Egg Hunt is right around the corner!

Thank you to everyone who has already dropped off eggs!
The hunt will begin at 10 a.m. on the Mentelle Park medians near Cramer Avenue. There will be two hunts — one for little kids through age 4 and one for bigger kids ages 5-10.
