When: Saturday, January 14, 2012
Time: 10 am to noon
Where: The old KFC parking lot at Buena and Broadway
Purpose: To pick up trash in the neighborhood
This is one way that we, the residents of Buena Park, keep our community clean. Once a month a dedicated group of neighbors meet at the abandoned KFC lot and spread out from there to remove litter from our streets. Come and join your neighbors as we send a message to the rest of the community that we care about our environment. Afterward we’ll meet at a local establishment for lunch and lively conversation. Join us to find out more about Buena Park Neighbors and what we’re doing to keep Buena Park Clean, Green, and Safe.
If it is snowing, we won’t go out

Here’s the deal. We’re having a winter fundraiser on Saturday, January 28, 2012. This is the weekend between the NFL playoffs and the Super Bowl, but we don’t have a good name for our event. So we’re offering a $100.00 prize to the person who comes up with the best name. E-mail your entry to Buena Park Neighbors and we’ll put you into the contest (enter as many times as you like). We have an expert panel of judges who will be voting on the winning name. If you win, we’ll give you $100.00 in cold cash to spend anyway you please.
The details of the event are as follows:
What: Buena Park Neighbors Winter Fundraiser

What: Meeting to discuss new proposal by Sedgwick Properties
Where: The Clarendon Field House at 4501 N. Clarendon Ave.
When: Thursday December 1
Time: 7 pm
Who: The Uptown Coalition for Responsible Development
Sedgwick Properties has submitted a revised plan for the Columbus/Maryville site on Montrose and Clarendon. Their original plan was overwhelmingly voted down earlier this year at a community meeting held by Alderman Cappleman. Their latest plan, The Lighthouse at Montrose Harbor, is pared down from the original but there are still some concerns that need to be addressed:
1. They are asking for $31 million in TIF funds
2. They currently have two properties in foreclosure
3. The current plan still has density problems
Buena Park Neighbors does not have an official position on this project; however, we believe that all of our neighbors need to be fully informed when such large-scale projects are proposed in or bordering on our neighborhood. With that in mind, we strongly recommend that you attend this very important meeting.
This meeting is being called by The Uptown Coalition for Responsible Development, which is a private organization. Also, we have been informed that, due to prior commitments, Alderman Cappleman will not be present at this meeting.
Keeping Buena Park Clean, Green and Safe
