Join your neighbors for free Red Wagon Pizza and Sleepy V’s mini donuts at the Annual Meeting & Board Elections tonight! The ANA is excited to hear from you and to share both our work over the past year and all the great things we have in store for 2019, including a new Armatage Neighborhood Mini Grants program!

Join the Armatage Neighborhood Association Board
Love our neighborhood and want to get more involved? Run for one of four open seats on the ANA board at tonight’s Annual Meeting. Elections are low stress and once elected, the time commitment for board members is usually 5-8 hours per month, which includes our monthly neighborhood meeting on the third Tuesday from 6:30-8:15pm. You are welcome to decide to run at the event! Renters are an important part of our neighborhood and are especially encouraged to run.
Apply for an Armatage Neighborhood Mini Grant!
How can we make our neighborhood a better place and engage our neighbors? If you have ideas and want to implement them, the ANA launched a new Armatage Neighborhood Mini Grants program. Grants are available for up to $1,000 and subject to the City requirements that prohibit spending on food or entertainment. Get all your questions answered at armatage.org/programs/mini-grants or at our Annual Meeting tonight.
The deadline to apply for a Mini Grant is June 15. Award notifications will be made by August 1, 2019 and grant recipients will have up to a year to complete their projects. Questions? Please contact us at anacoordinator@armatage.org.

Renting? Apply for a Rain or Native Garden
Renting in the neighborhood? We’re looking for renters who have a bit of yard space and would like to work with their landlord to add a low cost rain or native garden! We know that not being the property owner can be a barrier so our Green Team will help you get approval from your landlord and offer assistance to help get your garden established, even if you move. Visit https://armatage.org/programs/rain-gardens/ to apply by May 24 or email us at anacoordinator@armtage.org.
Armatage Green Garden Tour
Saturday June, 1 • 10:00am – 12:00pm
While you’re out checking out neighborhood garage sales on June 1, stop and visit alternative lawns, rain gardens, native gardens, and pollinator habitat in The Green Team’s first ever Armatage Green Garden Tour. Look for a map the week of May 27th with addresses and garden information posted at armatage.org.
