Spring Clean-Up Day - Another "Heavy" Success

Once again, neighbors, we outdid ourselves! On Saturday, April 28th, we had 62 cars and trucks, 2 wheelbarrows, and a large stake-bed city truck join us in the Osuna School parking lot to dump an astounding 11,380 pounds of junk into a new City rear-packer truck. Ably manned by OPNA volunteers and by City craftsmen Al Jaramillo and Clint Jeffries, we crunched lawn mowers, furniture (both inside and patio), railroad ties, child's swimming pool, appliances, beds, boxes, and the usual loads of green trimmings from 8am until noon, when the truck left completely full. In addition, we had two small helpers with their dads picking up trash from the park and school playground. That was a good day, and the neighborhood looks better as a result. Thanks, Neighbors!

Try the Pet Clean-up Bag Dispenser at Osuna Park!

Usage to Date: Over 2,000 Bags!!

A bag dispenser for cleaning up after you walk your dog in Osuna Park (or anywhere) is now mounted in Osuna Park. A collaboration between the School, your Board, and the city's Parks & Recreation Department, OPNA is responsible for monitoring the dispenser and keeping it full of bags - a job your Board has taken on. Please use this when you walk your dogs in our Neighborhood - it helps keep the Park safe for our kids during school, and it's the right thing to do!

How You Can Help OPNA

What do we need from you, our neighbors? While we appreciate your (cheap!) annual dues, we could also use some volunteers to assist the Board in the following areas:

  • Take a position on the OPNA Board (it's only for two years)
  • Newsletter distribution (quarterly)
  • Set-up and take-down for meetings and planned events
  • Distribution of flyers with information on an "as needed" basis
  • Involvement as an event planning member
  • Participation at events as a volunteer

If you would like to volunteer, please email OPNA directly at opna@cnsp.net. If you are already a member, thank you very much for helping to make the OPNA a success! If you are not yet a member, please consider joining what is one of the most rewarding and productive neighborhood associations in Albuquerque, and help us improve our neighborhood.

OPNA Membership Report

OPNA membership is steady but plateaued at about 149 members - including 8 business members - and we really need more of our neighbors to support your Osuna Park Neighborhood Association with their dues. Your dues help keep this web site up, publish our newsletters to all and email announcements to members who have email, provide refreshments and door prizes at the meetings, pay for the announcement signs at the major intersections before events, and supply funds to the three PTAs for the schools our kids attend (Osuna, Madison, and Sandia). We thank our members for their support, and we hope we are providing the service you need. Please contact Opie at the email link on this web page to ask a question, offer advice and support, or provide an alert.
