Sylvester needs to go home… or perhaps needs a new home- From a neighbor…..We woke this morning to the meowing of a wayward cat. Black with a white chest and little white on the face, also featuring white feet.  Seems pretty well domesticated but could have been on the lam for a while.  This feline seems to have adopted our porch at 115 6th Street, right next door to the Redwood Gospel Mission.   We’re putting some food out to keep him/her around, in hopes the owners will read this.  We can’t take him/her in due to our resident bunnies. Good Day to All, Jason 115 6th

Kid’s Talent Show
Author:
• Tuesday, May 03rd, 2011
This is a great opportunity for neighborhood kids and parents to get together….
Neighborhhod Kid's Talent Show

Hey neighbors,

We have a few local kiddos (and need more) that want to show off their
talents. Allen and Lea have graciously offered to host the kids talent
show on Sunday, May 22 about 3pm.
It will be a small “low key” talent show. Please bring a kid, an act
and some wine or a snack to share.

Smiles, Jacquie

Any questions, ideas or RSVP to  jacquelinedl@earthlink.net

Remember, low key and fun is the idea. Kids can sing, play the kazoo, lip sync, recite a poem, perform magic tricks, tell jokes, act in a skit with other kids, juggle or display tricks they’ve taught the dog.

The West End Neighborhood where urbanism, preservation, art and people come together! For the latest updates, crime alerts, full calendar of events and photos- go the West End Neighborhood website. Click Here!

Did you lose a kitten? Hi- I live on Pierson street and a tuxedo kitty wandered onto my back deck last night. He’s about 2-3 months old, very sleek with short black hair, a white chest and stomach and white sox on all four feet. Purrs all the time, very aggressive for petting. I hope the owner can reclaim him soon.   Terrie  415 794 9139  (yes I know it’s an SF area code but I’m in Santa Rosa)

Roaming Pit bulls FYI- Just wanted to let you/neighborhood know there were two pit bulls on the loose Sunday morning (March 27th)  on W. 7th  (approx. 8-8:30a.m.).  One was brown and one was brindled.  They attacked one of our cats on my mom’s porch and would have torn her apart if my husband had not gone out to chase them away.  They seemed a bit aggressive.  When Josh chased them away, they headed off towards Trowbridge and then west.  We called animal control, but I doubt they were able to find them.  I’m guessing they went back home.

Event and Happenings Highlights-
