The Glenview Goes Online
Park Blvd. takes a sunny break from the storm.
Last week, the Glenview Neighborhood Association held a meeting despite the rain. More than thirty residents braved Park Boulevard’s rush hour traffic and raging water run-off to attend. Reps from the Woodruffians, a network of neighborhood watch teams with origins in the Glenview, also showed up for the latest news.
The bad first: due to city budget cuts, the neighborhood needs funds to keep up the garden median, a Park Boulevard runner of plants and flowers. Then the good: a new Web site will help raise the money.
The new site launched this week: GlenviewNeighbors.com. Notice of the neighborhood’s “virtual” block reached nearly 3,000 members of GlenFriends, an email list for Glenview residents. Online donations continue to trickle in; the goal is set to “flood.”
Some residents at last Thursday’s meeting expressed concern that the GNA couldn’t raise enough funds. With the projected city deficit for 2011 at least $25 million, the city suggested turning the garden’s drip water system off. In addition, there are many more community projects—such as replacing the tattered, streetlight banners on Park—that need tending like the median. This makes the push for memberships even more pressing.
Michael Hunt, an aide to city Councilmember Ignacio De La Fuente, said that the city could offer supplies for the upcoming garden party this spring.
GNA President Bob Gray came forward as well to put some perspective on the membership campaign: “Remember that we’re the ones who raised $60,000 for the median.” The site hopes to rally residents once again and keep Park Boulevard blooming.

Glenview's new site is attractive and a nice development for Glenview. The revenue potential is a nice bonus.
I would like to provide a clarification on woodruffians. Woodruffians is a system that connects you with your neighbors based on your address -- no matter where you live. Woodruffians started on Woodruff in Glenview, and has spread to several communities in Oakland, from Maxwell Park to Montclair to Temescal.
Woodruffians is similar in concept and goals to the many block level email lists throughout the area -- it is simply a modern approach that automatically puts people on a list with their immediate neighbors.
I hope your readers will try woodruffians when they need a block level mailing list. Thanks for the mention.

Kelly, thanks for your note about Woodruffians. I wonder if there's a way to export some of the Woodruffians data via RSS to Gleview's new site--how could they complement one another?
Thank you for the clarification on Woodruffians, Kelly! I look forward to working with you to put the Woodruffians' mission on the GNA's site. So cool that the group started in the Glenview!
