Re: [Neighbors] Outreach to Help Preserve Shepard St. Mural
by Ruth Ryals 13 Nov '15

13 Nov '15

Neighbors, Will you sign this online (or paper based version attached) petition and share it with everyone you know in the neighborhood? Ruth ************************ Neighbors, Please help us save the new mural at Shepard Street and Mass Ave! Starbucks has been ordered by their landlord to paint over it. We are just now trying to figure out how this happened. In the meantime, we, the neighborhood members of the Arts Committee for the Avenue and Lesley University¹s School of Art & Design (which chose 2 fine arts students and a muralist/advisor to design and execute the mural at Starbucks request) are in fear that a year¹s hard work and a welcome addition to public art on the Avenue will be lost to all of us. We are in contact with Jason Weeks at the Cambridge Arts Council and several of our city councillors and the mayor. We are asking for a stay of action and a chance for all parties (including us, the ³third party² to all of this) to sit down and discuss how to save the artwork, face to face. You can go here to sign the petition! (A paper based version is attached as well.) http://goo.gl/forms/nCzm9BTsJJ Ruth Ryals, Co-Chair Art Committee for the Avenue Stan Trecker Dean Emeritus, Lesley University

Hi all, As many of you know, we just painted our house. The guys did a wonderful job (and for a very good price!). So I thought I would send a shout-out (right term?) to everyone to let you know in case you're looking for some exterior painting for the Spring. Check out our home at 11BVP and if you like what you see contact Cesar painting corp (cesar.painting(a)hotmail.com<mailto:cesar.painting@hotmail.com>). Best, john

FW: CASPAR Winter Coat Drive at Cambridge City Hall Nov. 16-20

From: "Tomeu, Ini" <itomeu(a)cambridgema.gov> Date: Monday, November 9, 2015 at 3:21 PM To: "Tomeu, Ini" <itomeu(a)cambridgema.gov> Subject: CASPAR Winter Coat Drive at Cambridge City Hall Nov. 16-20 Hello, please see attached news release, also pasted in as text below. Ini Tomeu, Public Information Officer City of Cambridge 795 Massachusetts Ave. Cambridge, MA 02139 617-349-4339/ itomeu(a)cambridgema.gov Like Us on Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/CambridgeMA.Gov> For Immediate Release CASPAR Winter Coat Drive at Cambridge City Hall Nov. 16-20 Cambridge, MA, November 9, 2015 The City of Cambridge is assisting CASPAR by serving as a drop-off location for gently used winter coats at City Hall Nov. 16-20. They are especially seeking Women¹s L, XL and Men¹s L, XL, and XXL). CASPAR has been serving the Cambridge community since 1970. It has grown from a halfway house for men and a shelter from homeless men and women to a multi-service agency offering intervention and prevention services that provide access to people wherever they are on the substance use/abuse/recovery continuum. CASPAR's primary goal is to save lives today, by connecting our homeless neighbors who are living on the street with services that they need so that recovery and an end to homelessness is possible. Their Street Outreach Van begins this process by building relationships with our homeless neighbors living on the street and by providing food, hygiene supplies, new or gently used weatherproof winter coats (Women¹s L, XL and Men¹s L, XL, XXL) and other necessities to them. CASPAR works to move homeless neighbors into their Homeless Shelter where they can provide referrals for medical and mental health care, counseling, employment and housing in an environment that is warm and welcoming. Once the clients are sheltered, the secondary goal is to move them into one of six residential recovery homes where they can safely begin developing independent living skills again.
