The Monroe Park Neighborhood Association leaders submitted <br /> an essay to "Edy's Slow Churned Neighborhood Salute"nationwide contest and won the grand <br /> prize of a fully sponsored Ice Cream Social. One hundred residents of the Monroe Park <br /> Neighborhood will come together to share in one of life's simple pleasures on August 5v' from 5- <br /> 6 p.m. at the corner of South and Carroll Streets. The Monroe Park Neighborhood was one of <br /> only 1500 neighborhoods nationwide to win this grand prize. <br /> The essay stressed all of the positive changes going on in the Monroe Park Neighborhood. <br /> Neighbors are linking arms to make their neighborhood a safer, more enjoyable place to live. <br /> Neighbors have recently participated in neighborhood cleanups, for example, and many are <br /> volunteering their time to assist in the Monroe Park Neighborhood sign beautification project. <br /> The sign, at the corner of Lincolnway East and Bronson Street, is being painted and some of <br /> Monroe Park's green thumbed residents are busy planting flowers around it. <br /> The MPNA leaders wrote to the Edy's contest, "As a fledgling group we appreciate every <br /> opportunity to show our neighbors that life here can be fun and enjoyable . . . we'd like to offer <br /> them fun and a chance to treat themselves and their families. We'd like to offer them Edy's!" <br /> The ice cream social will not only provide a great way for neighbors to socialize and get to <br /> know the Monroe Park Neighborhood Association, but will also enable them to learn more about <br /> their neighborhood and how they can participate in upcoming activities. A brief meeting will be <br /> held in conjunction with the event. <br /> -more- <br />
