Senior Front Porch Day
May 13th, 2011
The City of Mobile is celebrating spring with our inaugural Senior Front Porch Day! We invite our senior citizens to sit out on their front porch or lawn to participate in this event on Saturday, May 14, 2011 in District 1 and District 2. The Mayor’s Office of Strategic Initiatives has coordinated with The City of Mobile Police Department to provide additional patrol units monitoring the designated District neighborhoods on this day. These patrols will include the MOUNTED UNITS (Police on horses). In District 1 they will be located on Donald St., Clinton St., Summerville St., O’Conner St., and Gibson St. in the Toulminville area. They will also be located on Western Dr., Mill St., Bayshore Ave., Josephine St., Nall St., Ogden St., Edgewood St. and Hemley Ave. in the Crichton area. In District 2 the mounted unit will be located on Wimbush St., Wiley St., Whitley St., Edwards St., Short Wiley St. and Richardson St. in the Plateau area. We will also have volunteers repairing and sprucing up some neighborhood porches and yards of senior citizens. Join us in building our sense of community and empowering our senior population, by sitting outside and perhaps meeting new friends in your neighborhood.
The Mayor’s Office of Strategic Initiatives will also be teaming up with 2 community organizations on Saturday, May 14, 2011. The first organization is the St. Stephens Road Improvement for their “Neighborhood Pride Day” this event will be held from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm at the Henry “Hank” Aaron Park in Toulminville located at 2010 Andrews St., Mobile, AL 36601. The second organization is the Mobile County Training School Community Development Foundation. They will be out in the community restoring houses in the Plateau area. Be on the lookout for all of these events and come out and join us!
