A great time in Edgewater.


Wow it has been three weeks since we had the first volunteer event. Everyone had a great time in Edgewater the evening of May 30th. Volunteers gathered to paint in the design of the Foster Ave. project. At times there were over 50 people with paintbrushes in hand or observing the progress of the design. Painting started around 7:30pm. CPAG artists Tracy, Todd and Cynthia set up overhead projectors that they attached to a generator and projected the design onto the wall. Participants grabbed a brush and a cup full of paint and got started on the lines.

I ran around with a sign up sheet to get names and email addresses. If I missed you I am sorry, please let me know, but here are the people I did get....Ald. Mary Ann Smith
Maya Miyano, Marek Posard, Luke Schwankl, Monica Hammer, Debra Yepa-Pappan, Ji Hae Yepa-Pappan, Chris Pappan, Mike Starevic, Sue Henning, Lila Kaplan, Marti Murray, David Smalley, Erin McNamara, Timothy & Claire Gray (my kids) Nora Loyd, Pasha Nierenhausen, Chloe Al-Subagh, Mohammed Al-Subagn, Emily Andino, anthony Andino, Emily Escoto, Meenakshi Singh, Hashim Ali, Jonathon Medrabo, John Ho Hon, Lauren Besser, Richard Bresden, Nitti Hills, Rober Whapahi, John Joe, Gerry Lang, Lisa and Lilah White, Winfield Wounded-Eye....
