Crescent Lake Neighborhood Association had a very busy end of the year. We finished 2019 with events such as our Holiday Movie in the Park (Merry Madagascar and The Grinch) with a special appearance by The Grinch, a porch party at The Ocker Residence, our new book/movie club, and friendly competition at the Neighborhood Shuffleboard Showdown! Our biggest accomplishment in 2019 was obtaining designation for Huggins-Stengel Field on the National Register of Historic Places! Our street signs project is well underway and we expect the new street signs with our logo (replacing the current signs on the perimeter of our neighborhood) to be in place by February 2020. By end of November, we had almost 380 hours of volunteer hours entered by Crescent Lakers in support of the street signs project. The street signs project was made possible by a City of St. Petersburg Matching Grant, a contribution from Crescent Lake Neighborhood Association, and Crescent Lakers’ volunteer hours. Crescent Lakers volunteered by participating in projects such as Crescent Lake cleanups, adopt-an-alley cleanups, mentoring at Woodlawn Elementary, and participating in the establishment of a learning garden at Woodlawn Elementary.
Our hard-work is paying off as we expect to have the Crescent Lake street signs with our logo proudly displayed on the perimeter of our neighborhood and have a learning garden established at Woodlawn Elementary in early 2020. We will also continue to find ways to strengthen and bring our community together. Here’s to 2020!
