O.k. I’ve got a long list of items and an awareness of short attention spans so I’m going to try to make these as short and sweet as a melty mint.
The final deadline to apply to be a vendor in the hugely popular and incredibly cool Danforth East Arts Fair is June 15th so act now to avoid disappointment!
Speaking of art and how freakin’ cool we are…The Art of the Danforth crew is well into organizing for spring 2012 and they need some volunteers…some now and some next May. Right now Cindy needs a couple people to do 2-4 hours of internet research and/or 2-4 hours of walking the street to introduce ourselves to new stores. In May 2012, they’re wondering if there are any adventurous souls/families who live close to Danforth who would offer up their front yards for art installations. They would love to be able to offer curators a private residence as a potential installation site – dunno if they’d use it, but it potentially could be interesting. If you are interested in either or both or none of those things, but want to talk to Cindy, contact her at info(at)eastdanforthcreative
Tomorrow is DECA’s Container Gardening Workshop from 2-4 p.m. Don’t miss it. Don’t forget. And don’t give me some lame excuse about your in-laws dropping over unexpectedly. We’re also planning another full season of DECA Learns from canning to bicycles with some gardening thrown in for good measure. More on that in a future post.
Beatty Buddies daycare is a delightful little place in the basement of Earl Beatty Public School north of Danforth, east of Coxwell. Earl Beatty is slated for full day kindergarten in 2012 and that is just one of the reasons why the daycare has formed a strategic planning committee. The first thing it’s doing is a survey of you – the community. So whether your kids are in university or in utero, please take a few moments to fill out the short survey.

Notes from the Community Police Liaison Committee
- You can register your bike for free with 55 Division so in case it gets stolen, you could possibly, maybe, have a chance at, perhaps getting it back?
- Bugaboo baby strollers are magnets for thieves and are being stolen all the time. Lock them up.
- Graffiti cleaners are heading out June 15 and 16 to remove graffiti in alleys, garages, mailboxes etc. Contact Community Centre 55 at 416-691-1113 to suggest your unwanted graffiti location and they’ll try to send over a clean team
