See below to join the stenciling party on July 26.

(SENA office 1830 E 42nd St) Neighborhood Stormwater Stenciling Project - July 26 In coordination with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) and Minneapolis Public Works, we have arranged for a "Neighborhood Stormwater Stenciling Project" on Sunday, July 26, from 9:00-Noon. Taking place at the same time as the MCWD's "Minnehaha Creek Clean Up Event" headquartered at Lake Hiawatha, we'll meet up there at 9:00 a.m., distribute stenciling kits, maps and instructions and fan out across the neighborhood. We'll return to Lake Hiawatha park by 11:30 a.m. for free BBQ, beer (if you're old enough) and celebration as provided by MCWD. Please email bobk @ standish-ericsson.org if you are interested in participating (we must have an accurate number of stenciling groups in order to obtain the right amount of stenciling kits.)
