1. SPECIAL ALERT: Orleans Bonfire Cancelled; NOFD Warns Residents Not to Start Fires
Mary Hogan, a member of the 2008 committee that held the New Year’s Eve Bonfire on Orleans Avenue, has confirmed to MCNO that it has been CANCELLED for 2009. This was due to the lack of a sponsor able to obtain the appropriate liability protection, not to fundraising problems as indicated by some news reports. NOPD says it will arrest anyone that starts a fire there.
Anyone interested in working on a committee to resolve the issues and reinstate the event in 2010 can email volunteer@mcno.org and as a courtesy, MCNO will forward the information to other committee members when it obtains their information.
2. Drainage Working Committee Forming
MCNO is forming a working committee to address drainage issues with the Sewer and Water Board and Public Works. Several residents have expressed interest in forming this group. If you are interested, please email volunteer@mcno.org with Drainage Committee in the subject line.
