Armory Park Neighborhood Association

Interested in Helping the Immigrants at the Benedictine Monastery?

immigrants_moore-1250x0-c-default A message from Ward 6 Council Member Steve Kozachik: “The weather is heating up. Consequently, we are seeing a lot of dehydration among the Central American guests who are now arriving at the monastery. Some report having been penned in outdoor corrals in El Paso, then having been bussed here with no fluids being offered. Their condition validates those stories. If you are so inclined, we could use 6-packs of small bottles of Gatorade/Powerade, or powdered or liquid flavored Pedialyte. We now hear directly from Border Patrol that they will be dropping up to 300 guests in the next few days – bypassing ICE in the process. The problem is not decreasing in magnitude.”

Brush and Bulky Plus the Week of 12/31/18

20181212_130157 Heads up! Our next Brush and Bulky (B&B) collection will be the week of 12/31/18—which means probably 1/2/19 or 1/3/19.

Why are we having B&B now? It’s because the City has redone the entire zone structure to avoid splitting neighborhoods. Also for 2019 it’s launching “Brush and Bulky Plus.” We will be in a new zone, 05. We and others in Zone 5 will be the guinea pigs for this new program. We expect to have a City rep explain it at an upcoming APNA meeting.
