We have wrapped up our first mini-season of Thursdays @ Roosevelt.

We originally planned to conclude by August 30th, then considered extending it to October 4th, and then decided to go back to the original plan, so that we can spend the off-season working on a plan for food trucks.

We’ll retool and revise and start in the spring next year. Thanks for the support as we launched it, and please send along any suggestions you may have.  Please also consider buying a T-shirt to help defray costs from this year and the start of next year. You can do so by emailing president(at)silverhillabq.org.

The Silver Hill Neighborhood Association is launching a weekly gathering at Roosevelt Park at Coal and Sycamore Southeast. “Thursdays at Roosevelt” starts June 21, 2018, and runs through October 5th. From 5-8 pm every Thursday at historic Roosevelt Park for a limited first-year run, the event will feature food trucks, music, games, and family-friendly fun. The event is modeled after Hyder Park’s “Tasty Tuesdays.” Contact us in various ways outlined below for a preview story, or come join us every Thursday this summer.

Time and Location of the Meeting: the meeting was held at CNN Conference Room and was called to order at 7:00 pm.

Board Members Present: James Montalbano, Aaron Du Bay, Elizabeth Doak, Don McIver, Tom Ocken, Jill Berry, Sean Matney & Richard Hallett.

Others Present: Tracy Mallette, Ben Wasserott

408 Maple (Ash between Lead & Coal): We were expecting a presentation from and conversation with a representative from Lucaya House, regarding their garbage bins and a request for a wrought-iron fence.  No one came to the meeting.

Lead/Coal Safety Committee: Ben Wasserott from University Heights paid a second visit to the Board to inform us of the formation of a task force, made up of representatives of affected neighborhoods, to advise the City about ways to improve safety along the Lead/Coal corridor between Nob Hill and Downtown. A 45-minute discussion brought up the main concerns — unsafe drivers, speeding drivers, one-way roads, road design, and lack of police enforcement. Per a July 3, 2018, letter from the City, neighborhoods are to nominate representatives to the task force by July 20th. Richard Hallett and James Montalbano agreed to serve as the SHNA reps and to recruit a resident of Lead/Coal to join them. The Board also discussed talking to neighbors to catalog their concerns and suggested solutions. 

Roosevelt Park Thursday Summer Events: Board members, which included the Thursdays @ Roosevelt Committee, analyzed the first three weeks of the new event and were generally pleased. Items that need attention: Set-up each day (banners, parking cones); the performance of food vendors and the possibility of, after 7/12, considering a rotation of food trucks; musical acts; a tracking system for the event’s finances, including a Google Doc that will monitor income and outflow of funds (the food trucks should cover the music each week); and spreading the word on social media.

The Board voted unanimously to extend the event (permits permitting) to October 5, 2018, the eve of Balloon Fiesta. 

National Night Out (8/7/18): The Board agreed to encourage folks to be out and about in the neighborhood on National Night Out but declined to organize a specific event, in light of the efforts being put into Thursdays @ Roosevelt.

Minutes: The June Board Meeting minutes were approved unanimously as corrected.

The meeting adjourned at 8:55 pm.

Our next meeting is at 7 p.m. Monday, July 9, 2018 at the Heights Community Center on Buena Vista. ALL are welcome to participate.

Roosevelt Park Thursday Summer Events: Our first of 11 events this summer will be held on Thursday June 21^st from 5:00pm to 9:00pm at Roosevelt park. We are going to get 30 gray, crew neck, tee shirts with red lettering. It will cost $15 for a set up fee & $7/shirt with printed LOGO. We will also look at getting ¼ page flyers & a large banner with the LOGO. Teacher’s Workshop is a resource that we could use. Board Members could preorder shirts to help defer costs. We may set up a PayPal account to facilitate transactions with the food truck vendors. We are paying a band $50. Food vendors will pay $50/event if they commit for the season and $62.50/event with no future commitment. The Department of Health is sending 2 people to sweep the park for needles two hours before the event. Six Board members paid for 6 shirts for $90 and 4 additional shirts have committed to buy a shirt and will pay later.

We have received all of our permits for “Thursdays @ Roosevelt.” We don’t need to get Event insurance if there are less than 150 people attending. Sal Perdomo has offered his services for Marketing and Tom Ocken for Design.

A motion to provide $250 as initial funding for Thursdays at Roosevelt, including for the creation of the LOGO was approved unanimously.

Minutes: The May Board Meeting minutes were approved unanimously as corrected.

The meeting adjourned at 8:50pm.
