Finneytown Civic Association April Newsletter
Follow the link here to read the FCA Newletter for April.
Some of the highlights from the meeting were as follows:
1) A guest speaker representing a company providing an energy-use inspection of your home for $50 and then coordinates a follow up to make necessary changes at a very low cost.
2) Concern from neighbors living near Brent Park who would like to reclaim this park for their neighborhood. Vandalism, loitering, and misuse of the property has been a challenge for the neighbors over there. Many of the families have kids attending the school and don't see kids from Finneytown as the problem. The problem is from kids who are showing up who are not using the park for it's intended purpose of outdoor recreation use.
3) School superintendent was present giving a report about improvements being made in the buildings. The district was eligible for funds that will help cut costs on energy use by becoming more energy efficient.
As soon as I get the official notes, this will have to do!

News from the High School...
I wanted to make you aware of some upcoming events that may be of interest to you. First, the Music Scholarship Concert is next Thursday, April 19th, in our very own Finnneytown High School's Performing Arts Center. The music faculty, parents, and some special guests will put on a concert to raise money for the Finneytown Music Parents Association Scholarship fund.
This fund helps students who may not be able to afford an instrument or instrument rental, the cost of honor group participation, or the cost of private lessons for students who wish to become even better musicians - just to name a few things. The cost is $4 for students and $8 for adults, and the concert starts at 7pm. We hope you can join us for this very worthwhile evening.
Also, here's some news about the Finneytown Secondary PTA. They are looking for Kroger Plus shoppers to register online to help raise money for their organization. If you are a Kroger shopper with a Kroger Plus card, go online to Kroger.com to register your card number or alternative ID. Next, look for the blue "service" tab at the top of the page and scroll down to Community Rewards to sign in your name and address (again) and designate the "Finneytown Secondary PTA" to receive proceeds from what you spend at Kroger.

Great American Clean Up April 21st
The weatherman is calling for a bit of rain on Saturday morning during our scheduled Great American Cleanup. Since when did a little rain stop us!!!! At this time, we would like to share our contingency plan with you:
Your help is still greatly needed for Springfield Township's annual community cleanup on April 21st. There are over 25 projects we would like to complete before the end of the weekend. If you are able to give your time - please consider registering at either check in location. Check-In will be held rain or shine. Project activities can take place through the weekend if it is raining.
Check-in will be held INDOORS, RAIN OR SHINE at both check-in sites.
IF YOU ARE CHECKING IN AT PLEASANT RUN FARMS:
* Check in at the swim club at 8:30a.m.
IF YOU ARE CHECKING IN AT THE FIRE STATION ON WINTON ROAD:
* Park in the administration or neighboring plaza parking lot and check in between 8:00a.m.- 8:30a.m.
We are crossing our fingers for no rain, however if it happens to shower on us, we are asking that everyone register and select their assignments. We will be distributing the T-shirts (while available), McDonald gift cards, and clean-up supplies at check-in. We will also have a light breakfast available for volunteers. The projects can take place right away, or can be done later Saturday or Sunday if it rains. We plan to work from 9am-noon - then head to McDonald's for lunch!
HOW WILL CHECK-IN WORK?
There will be a designated check-in for pre-registered groups and for individuals who may or may not have registered online. (Didn't register yet? No worries! Just stop by and we will sign you up at the door!)
DID I REGISTER AS A GROUP?
We have the following "groups" pre-registered and have been assigned projects:
Bridge Creek Condo Team
Boy Scout Troop 390
Finneytown Civic Association
Daisy Troop 48729
Citizens on Patrol
Finneytown Middle and High School
LifeSprings Church
Pleasant Run Farms Neighborhood (Check-in at the swim club)
If you are not in one of the above pre-registered groups, you will check-in at the "individual registration table". You will be able to view the volunteer board and select a project.

Everyone will be given trash and recycle bags, as well as plastic gloves.

It is a great idea to be prepared!
