New Mayor Corey Woods to be Sworn in July 2nd

Participate in Kiwanis Sparkles on July 4th
The Kiwanis Club of Tempe will be distributing a package of two sparklers and a small American flag to everyone in the neighborhood. Let us know if you have more than two children and we will get you more sparklers. They would like everyone to light them at 9 pm on Saturday, July 4th since there will be no fireworks at the Town Lake this year. It would be nice to get a large group of neighbors to get together at the labyrinth and light them together. Thank you Kiwanis Club of Tempe!

Neighbors Linda Martin and Kevin Brown have set up a small pantry for anyone in need right next to our Neighborhood Little Library at 1627 E. Williams St. If you have extra you can always drop your items off there too.

The Hudson Will Be Opening in late August
The Hudson is the name of the restaurant/tasting room that will be opening at Apache and Elm St. It is owned by Kyle Delly whose family owned the Liquor Express next door for over 30 years.

The Importance of Flood Irrigation
Neighbor Ed Lebow has created a wonderful slide show showing the historical significance of flood irrigation in the Valley. Hudson Manor is part of that history.

Hudson Manor History
The grandson of the developer of our Hudson Manor dropped off a portfolio of old photos of neighborhood and Tempe. See the History page for links to these photos/articles. Phil also found a 1992 news video done on the problems our park was having when a number of homeless people had made Hudson Manor Part their home. Dennis Cahill had just been elected to our City Council and includes neighbor Shelly White as well.

Hudson Manor Labyrinth - Neighbors Working Together!
Summer, 2007 marked the completion of our neighborhood project to construct a meditation area at our Hudson Manor Park. On June 9th, a time capsule was sealed at the entry and the north sign was set in place at the base of the peace pole. The arrow was set in black “Apache Tears” from Globe. Since that time people have been seen eating there, children play games there, others practice playing their guitars and flutes there and yes there was even a person spotted in a yoga position in meditation! Weddings and memorial services have been performed there. This was truly a neighborhood project - with lots of people volunteering their time and energy. Our labyrinth is now listed on the Labyrinth Society
web page. See our Labyrinth page for photos of the park in progress.
