kitchen downstairs and a dreamy dining room and balcony upstairs. Ettamae's is located at 522 N. Second Street. To get a quick view of their lunch

After many months of planning and meetings with neighbors in the Historic Jackson Ward community, the Community Design Assistance Center has
sent us a conceptual master plan of what our future Abner Clay could look like. To see the final report, click here:
Abner Clay Park Conceptual Master Plan. 
Beginning on Friday, June 18th, Richmond's Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities will kick off its second year of "Friday
Pictures in the Park". These are free events held in different locations throughout the city with free popcorn and cotton candy. There will be
ten showings in all throughout the summer. For those of us in Historic Jackson Ward, they will be showing "Star Trek" on Friday, July 9th in
Abner Clay Park (corner of Brook Rd. and West Clay Streets). There will be a costume contest for this showing as well before the start of the movie.
Time for both is: 7:30-10:30 pm.

Thank you to all of you who came out to join us for our spring Clean-Up Day on Saturday, April 17th. We had a whopping 40 people come out to clean up the
sidewalks, streets and alleys in our neighborhood, and once again, the weather was perfect. The morning began with a breakfast of Bob's homemade
biscuits, Steve's wonderful coffee, and fresh fruit & veggie trays. And, then we moved out into the neighborhood with bags and picker-uppers to rid our
neighborhood of the unsightly trash. It was a group effort to be excited about; that's for sure! Officers Patrick Mansfield and Scott Lancaster joined us
along with our city council representative Charles Samuels. Six students from William and Mary also came out early on a Saturday morning before their
participation in the Maggie Walker Heritage day events to help us with our clean up efforts.
If you missed this one, don't worry; our next Clean-Up Day will be held on Saturday, October 16th. To make things easier on everyone with busy schedules,
we now have set dates for Clean-Up Days. Every 3rd Saturday in April and October will be HJWA Clean-Up Days, so mark your calendars!
If you came out on Saturday and did not receive your thank you email, it was because it was bounced back, or we did not have your correct email address, but not to worry, click here to view: "Thank you". To see all of the photos from the day in a slideshow presentation, click here: Slideshow |
Please take a look at our Strategic Plan goals and objectives. If you have any ideas about how these objectives and goals can be met, contact
us through our "Contact Us" page or shoot an email to Charles. We would also love it if you would like to become involved in achieving these goals, so please
let us know if you'd like to chair a committee or maybe even start a new one. Any input you can give would be greatly appreciated.
What a beautiful way to celebrate Christmas with friends and to meet new neighbors! Our annual Christmas Party was held on Thursday, December
17th at Club 533, and it was a huge success! Thank you so much to Lynne Lancaster who single-handedly organized the event and made it a
reality! 
Have you noticed the many beautiful Christmas decoration on various homes and on many of the lamposts in Historic Jackson Ward? If you haven't,

them all together in a slide show. Thanks to Steve Hennessee, you can merely click on the link below to see them all. Thanks, Steve!
