Fulton Neighborhood Association is proud to announce the recipients of the 2017 Fulton Small Grants:
Southwest High School Orchestra Program
Award Amount: $1,000
Program: Purchase new sheet music for the orchestra and support the busing cost to take the orchestra on a tour to perform at the local middle and elementary schools. This project will help strengthen orchestra in the schools and give more visibility to the program.
Cub Scout Pack 6
Award Amount: $650
Program: Start a new, local Cub Scout Pack (grades K-5) and help cover the cost of program materials that stay with the organization such as leader manuals, handbooks, flags, neckerchiefs, etc. The new Pack will service the growth and developmental needs of youth through the Scouting program.
Venturing Crew 6
Award Amount: $285
Program: Provide program resources to youth ages 14-20 who are interested in developing leadership qualities through high adventure planning and execution. Venturing’s purpose is to provide positive experiences to help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults, with an emphasis in adventure, leadership, personal growth, and community service.

Mon., Feb. 6
Pig & Fiddle
3812 W. 50th St.
Register here for the Fulton Networking/Happy Hour Event.
Over the past couple of years, FNA has sponsored networking events to help people come together over a common interest, meet new neighbors and connect with other Fulton residents. Our most popular event to date was Happy Hour at Pig & Fiddle, so we have decided to do another one! Join us on Mon., Feb. 6, 6-8 p.m. in the side room at Pig & Fiddle for a free beverage and some tasty appetizers.
There is no cost to attend, but we ask that you pre-register so we can be prepared. Attendance is limited due to space constraints, so register early! We are hoping to sponsor further Happy Hour gatherings throughout the year.

Our annual Fulton Neighborhood Association Fall Festival will take place on Sat., Sept. 10th, from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. at Pershing Park. It is always a great event filled with fun activities, good food, wonderful music and an awesome day spent with friends and neighbors. It takes a village to pull off an event like this and we need you to be part of our village! Please consider signing up for a volunteer shift that day. There are lots of different choices: ticket sales, inflatables, food tent, Silent Auction and set-up/clean-up – something for everyone. Each volunteer will receive four free tickets to be used anywhere at the event. We appreciate any help you can give us. Check out our online sign-up: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/904084ba4a822aa8-fulton1
Thank you and looking forward to seeing you at the Fulton Fall Festival on Sept. 10!

As part of the big Fulton Fall Festival, we host a Marketplace area for local artisans and entrepreneurs to have a place to show and sell their goods and services. The fee for hosting a table is $10 (free for kids 17 and under); if you need an actual table, they are available to rent for an additional $10.
It’s always a fun day and a great way to meet neighbors and make connections. Please see the application below for more details.

Every year FNA celebrates this great neighborhood with our Fall Festival (this year on 9/10). A big part of our festival is the Silent Auction and we just found out that our volunteer SA Coordinator is moving out of state. Is there anyone out there with a love of your neighborhood who could step in and help us with this important community building and fundraising effort? The current Coordinator is a professional organizer and has all of the materials impeccably organized with a good infrastructure all set up and ready to go. She is willing to meet with you and help transition this role before she leaves at the end of June.
Getting involved with the Silent Auction is a great way to meet people and make connections right here in your own neighborhood.
If you’d like to help but feel like you can’t take on the whole thing, we’d be happy to also consider doing this by committee with two or three volunteers.
Please contact us at info@fultonneighborhood.org if you are interested. Thanks for considering.
