Mastick artists will be exhibiting artwork created in Mastick Senior Center classes (beading jewelry, ceramics, creative writing, drawing and painting, quilting, stained glass, and more). A group of 32 active Mastick members wrote their memoirs in a collection titled, The World Comes to Alameda. A book signing is on Sunday, March 4, 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm, Alameda Main Library Stafford Room (1550 Oak Street). Free tax preparation services now happening, thanks to AARPD Tax Assistance Program volunteers. Low and middle income individuals, especially those 60 and older can schedule an appointment by calling Mastick at 747-7501 or visiting. Parks Maintenance Now piloting a program to go all-electric with maintenance equipment. ARPD office landscape maintenance is now done with an electric mower, weed eater, blower and hedge trimmer. It's better for the environment, saves costs and increases staff safety by reducing the need to handle gas. Installed theft proof covers at Washington Park Tennis Courts and Shoreline Park to prevent theft of electrical wires. Installing Littlejohn playground soon, within next 1-2 months. Recreation Services Recruiting now for summer staff. Staff attended two job fairs; at Cal State East Bay and College of Alameda. Projects Sweeney Park Cross Alameda Trail is complete in next two weeks. Now putting in utilities in for Phase A, the 8-acres being constructed on east side off Sherman Street. Entire park will open once all construction is complete, for safety reasons. Anticipated to be Sept/Oct 2018. Working with Sweeney Park Fund, to do a volunteer seeding event with wildflowers soon. Estuary Park Now open and being used by kids! Receiving very positive feedback on the fields. | RecreationandParkCommission/2018-02-08.pdf |
