CWNA HALLOWEEN NATURE WALK AND BONFIRE

Saturday, November 3rd, 2007

It was a cool, crisp Halloween evening, and the Cambridge Woods bike path was illuminated by jack-o-lanterns, guiding a parade of lions, princesses and firemen through the woods to the Urban Ecology Center, where they were met with treats and a blazing warm fire.

The party was given by the CWNA Fun and Games Committee with help from several generous neighbors and the Urban Ecology Center, thank you! If you enjoyed this event and wish to have more events like it, please consider joining Fun and Games by contacting chair Leslie Woodruff at 414.962.2477 or lespaulpax@sbcglobal.net

A Gorgeous Day for the Fall Rummage

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

The day couldn’t have been more beautiful. We had thirteen families participating. The Boat House corner of Cambridge and Hampshire was the definate “hotspot” with a grand array of things for sale as well as wonderful hospitality from the neighbors holding the sales.  Enjoy a few photos from the day in the picture gallery.

Caroling in the Neighborhood

Wednesday, December 27th, 2006

Four carolers gathered and headed up Newhall Street in the patchy evening mist (and 42 degree weather) from house to house, sometimes climbing onto porches to sing. With banjo a’strumming (a la Hilary) and bells ringing, several neighbors came out and a one even sang with us in German. After winding around the Cambridge Woods streets for 2 hours, our evening of song came to an end.
