Tosa’s Night Out Local Celebrations

IMG_5789

Once again the PPNA is encouraging each block to host a block meet and greet.  Block captains or anyone else with the planning “bug”, could throw together a simple gathering on the block on either July 29th or 30th.  For example, you could invite your block to all convene on 7-30 at 7:30pm for lemonade, root beer floats or an ice cream social.  If you would like help spreading the word about your block’s gathering or want to know who your block captain is,  please email pabstpark@gmail.com.  Who doesn’t love a little friendly competition?  Let’s see who can host the best block gathering in Pabst Park!  
From the TNO website:  This year we are bringing the focus back to your neighborhoods and fighting crime on a block by block level. The Wauwatosa Police Department is encouraging as many neighborhoods as possible to have their annual block parties during the weekend of July 29th and 30th.  Our Police Department will be out in full force to attend every block party in the city that weekend!! Plan ahead and get your block party on our list. We’ll bring the squads and motorcycles. This is your chance to have one on one conversations with the officers that work your neighborhood every day.
On Monday, July 31st, the Police Department, in coordination with our many neighborhood associations will host “regional block parties” throughout the City. There will be four parties throughout the city that night. Get your neighborhood association together and join your neighbors. Our officers will be out and you can meet the officers that patrol your neighborhoods every day. We’ll be there with McGruff, squads, motorcycles, and bicycles. Stop by to say hello to our officers or ask about crime prevention in your neighborhood. Stay tuned for the exact times and locations.

PPNA Liaison to the Senior Commission Needed

The Senior Commission of Wauwatosa would like to communicate more effectively with neighborhood associations  in Tosa via a Senior Liaison. The liaison does not need to be a “senior”, just someone who has a passion for helping our senior neighbors make connections with the various resources available to them. You would be invited to attend meetings of all Tosa neighborhood senior liaisons, perhaps a couple per year, and be the ‘keeper’ of the brochures provided by the Senior Commission. It would be a very simple volunteer position you could list on your resume. Great for a local college student or professional in need of volunteer hours. Information about the next meeting is below. Please email pabstpark@gmail.com if you are interested in being the liaison for Pabst Park.
The Senior Commission invites you to attend the Senior Liaison Planning Meeting on April 11, 2017 at 6:30 – 8:00 pm in the Firefly Room, Tosa Library. . This is a follow-up to the February meeting where we discussed our vision for this new volunteer position in each Neighborhood Association. All are welcome! We will begin the meeting with a brief summary of that vision. We will then map out how you envision the Senior Liaison in your Neighborhood. We believe that the Senior Liaison position should be tailored to your unique Neighborhood. Just as each Neighborhood has its own personality, so will the Senior Liaison role. Please join us for this exciting new venture!
