News & Events
For those of you looking to get out on the ice this winter, the city will be setting up a rink in Heritage Heights again this year. The rink will be on Meadowlark Drive. The situation is that the city sets it up initially, but then its up to volunteers to maintain it. Ted Blazel is on the Heritage Heights Neighborhood Board and is encouraging everyone to make great use of the ice rink this year. Ted is also seeking volunteers to help out with maintaining the rink. If you are able to help out with the maintenance, please contact Ted at ted.blazel@gmail.com.
As with any community sponsored activity, the more the merrier and the more people helping the less work it is for each person! Enjoy and hope to see you on the ice!
Easter Egg Hunt/Party at Oak Park Place
4th of July Parade
Well, we had another year where the weather cooperated and we had an amazing turnout!
Loved seeing all that red, white and blue!

Special thanks to the sponsors who include: Door Creek Dental, The Great Dane, Culvers, Oak Park Place and Monona State Bank.
Also a big thank you to all those who participated and volunteer before, during and after the parade.

Great Dane East Side Easter Egg Hunt!
Despite the wind and chilly temps, there were approximately 200 kids that showed up for the Easter Egg Hunt. Not too bad for the 1st year! It's truely amazing how fast 200 kids can clean up when motivated...
Those in attendance had the opportunity to see some cool animals if they hung around for the ZooZort exotic animal show immediatly following the hunt. http://zoozort.com/
The Great Dane donated the proceeds and food donations to the Second Harvest Food Bank
We look forward to more fun activities with The Great Dane!

Far East Side Fire Station
Land was allocated in the Metro Center development (Milwaukee Street and Sprecher Road) for a new fire station a few years ago. The project has stalled for various reasons over the years. Due to recent home fires on the far east side, there is a greater urgency to move this project forward. The City's Board of Estimates recently passed $1.5 million in planning and design funds for this project and it is now included in the City's budget for 2011. There are still additional steps that are taking place, including review of additional data to solidify the need, but the good news is there is forward movement with the project. See Alder Cnare's update for more details.
Madison Meals on Wheels
Can you help make the noon meal an "Event" for the elderly homebound and disabled in Madison, Monona and Middleton? You may be the only person a recipient sees that day, providing a safety check in addition to social contact. Home Health United Meals on Wheels delivers meals every day of the year with a route taking about an hour. Very specific directions are given to each recipients' home and we will work with any schedule. Also, if you know of someone who is in need of meals please let us know.
