Independence Day Parade and Party

Happy 234th Birthday, USA!

This year, Independence Day fell on a Sunday, and we had a really great birthday party. We had a visiting artist creating original face-painting, plenty of (temporary) tattoos, lots of helium balloons for anyone and every bicycle, and a grand parade through part of the neighborhood. Then we all returned to Osuna Park for sodas, water, frozen "otter-pops", ice cream, more balloons, patriotic music, treats, and just plain fellowship in the shade of the Park's trees on a hot day And it was all free, supported by your dues.

Over 70 of our neighbors came out and joined us as we celebrated the 234th birthday of our nation and its Constitutionally-guaranteed freedoms. If you missed it, you missed a really fun time. But don't worry - we'll do it again in 2011!

OPNA Membership Report

OPNA membership is steady but plateaued at about 150 members - including 9 business members, our highest number - and we really need more of our neighbors to support your 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, and pay for the announcement signs at the major intersections before events. 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.

NM Highway Conditions for Travelers

New Mexico commuters and interstate travelers can find weather-related road conditions, construction and congestion information by dialing 5-1-1. The 511 service is part of a growing, nationwide program to provide consistent and reliable traveler information. The new 511 service replaces the old 1-800 line. Information also will continue to be provided at the New Mexico Roads interactive website.

Recycling Location

The City's Solid Waste Division has placed a complete recycling drop-off center in the parking lot of First Family Church, 4701 Wyoming NE. This is on the west side of Wyoming, just opposite OPNA territory. It will accommodate everything that curbside recycling trucks ordinarily pick up, including glass. There is another one further away, near the Reynolds aluminum recycling truck on the southwest corner loop of Menaul just west of Eubank. Let's use them!
