I hope 2026 has brought you new hope and new goals for your well-deserved retirement. The Emeriti Park is awaiting our return, although the weather is totally unpredictable. We have had 2 successful cleanup days: Nov 19, Dec 17, 2025. Day 2: Despite the snow and ice, Lesli Johnson, Kelam, and I spent a couple of hours cleaning slush away from the walkway and pulling up weeds and invasive honeysuckle on the south side of the Park. Thank you for braving the weather! Kelam says the new fountains should be coming soon. We are ready to propose some biweekly Wednesday cleanup days for the spring, beginning with: Feb 4 - 10:30-12:30 Feb. 18 ? 10:30-12:30 Let me know if you are interested in either or both of these days and times. Bring gloves and a bottle of water, Kelam will supply the tools (unless, of course, you have a favorite that you want to bring along!) I?ll keep you posted on weather and any cancellations.
