Help to beautify grounds around Himmel Park Library

by

From Sam Hughes Neighborhood Assn. website, www.samhughes.org:

This Himmel Park Beautification is a  project initiated by three residents of the Sam Hughes midtown neighborhood: Denice Blake, Betty Guarraia, and Susan Peters. In an effort to meet our objective to spend a small amount of the resources from the biennual home tour, we first came up with four guiding principles that would ultimately benefit midtown neighborhoods: high visibility, aesthetic appeal, education, and collaboration. To meet those objectives, we have selected Himmel Park Library for external beautification.

Carolyn’s note: Himmel park branch library is at 1035 N. Treat Ave., in NE corner of Himmel Park (south of Speedway, between Tucson Blvd. and Treat Ave., going south to the alley north of E. 3rd Street). History of namesake Alvina Himmel is on the Sam Hughes Neighborhood website, written by me.
