President’s Message: July 2009

Hello TETNA!

When you under take something like doing a half marathon, you have no idea what you are really getting into. You train. You plan. You buy a cute running outfit.

But it is not until you get there that it sinks in. You are part of something. Something big. You stand in your corral. You hear the National Anthem. I heard Mary Hulman-George say, “Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines!” Someone sang, “Back Home Again In Indiana.” Then, the starting gun. You shuffle for 38 minutes to the starting line. And then you take off! (more…)


North Avenue Clean & Green

Saturday, June 20 • 9:00AM to 12:00PM
North Avenue from 60th to 76th St

cleangreen_colorAll we ask for is a little elbow grease and a group of willing neighbors to join us for the first annual “Clean & Green” along North Avenue hosted by the Tosa East Towne Neighborhood Association.

Volunteers should walk to their nearest North Avenue corner at 9:00AM with gardening/work gloves in order to weed out the cracks and pavers. Trash will be placed in provided black garbage bags and plant material in provided clear bags. The city will then pick up and dispose of the filled bags.

If you have any questions, please contact Bobby Pantuso.


New Home Energy Efficiency Program

Are you concerned about the cost of energy in your home and the effect of your use on our community and environment? Consider assisting TETNA by developing a program to help members deal with these concerns. John Bahr, chairman of the Wauwatosa subcommittee on Home Energy Efficiency will be presenting at the June 8 association meeting. The energy committee is developing a neighborhood program to support the effort of residents to reduce their energy consumption. TETNA has been chosen as the ideal candidate to kickoff this new program. (more…)

Annual Rummage Sale

Sixty homes participated in last year’s TETNA rummage event, and to carry on the tradition, TETNA expects another successful rummage day on Saturday, June 6. Neighbors have been collecting, organizing and pricing things they no longer need in hopes to earn a few dollars in the process.

Great reasons to join us for the TETNA Rummage:

It’s healthy: Walking the neighborhood is great exercise
It saves you money: Affordable deals help your bank account
It’s good for the environment: Reduce, reuse and recycle
Its fun!
