Shawnee Evergreen Community Association

Monday October 1, 2018 6:30 PM
South Gate Alliance Church
1436 James McKevitt Rd SW.

With your support and participation SECA will continue to have a bright future!

In recent years, SECA has focussed largely on managing the community impacts resulting from the sale of the golf course and the associated housing and commercial developments. While this remains one of our focus areas, we are now looking towards nurturing a more connected, engaged and neighbourly community.

SECA operates community events such as our recent community clean-up, our Easter egg hunt, and our flagship Stampede Breakfast. We are also in the enviable position of having a re-occurring casino volunteer opportunity and we maintain a healthy bank balance thanks, in large part, to prior casino earnings. Your participation on the Board is needed to preserve these community activities and to help decide how to best invest our money back into our neighbourhood.

SECA is looking for diverse voices from all parts of our community to help lead our community association forward. We need your voice, your input, and your participation on the Board of Directors.

The following roles need to be filled: President, Secretary, Treasurer, Events Coordinator, Membership Coordinator, and Directors at Large. To learn more about these roles, please contact Lynn Jobe at ljobe.afl@gmail.com or (403) 606-2406.

Please join us for a ‘get to know your neighbours’ Pizza Social followed by our Annual General Meeting on October 1, 2018 at 6:30 pm at Southgate Alliance Church (1436 James McKevitt Rd SW).

Saturday September 1, 2018
9:00 AM to 2:00 PM

Location: South Gate Alliance Church parking lot (1436 James Mckevitt Rd SW
NE corner of Evergreen Street SW and James Mckevitt Rd SW).

Now is the time to get ready for this year’s cleanup! The City of Calgary will be providing 3 trucks to be filled with “junk” that you would normally have to take to a City operated Landfill site (e.g. Shepard Landfill). This is a good time to get rid of general household waste that you  can’t put in your black bin or large items and yard waste. In addition, this year we are pleased to be providing:

• Salvation Army – clothing and other household items
• TBA – tires, rims, batteries
• Geep – electronics (tv,monitors,keyboard,mouse,cables,tablets,computers, etc.)
• Shred-it – free shredding of your old confidential documents
• Bikes etc. – the Calgary Immigrant Support Society (formerly the Syrian Refugee Support Group) is looking for gently used bikes and helmets, scooters, wagons, strollers and unexpired car seats for those in need. Although our group focuses primarily on helping those that have escaped horrific conditions in war torn countries, we also help anyone in our city in need. Please note we do not have a team of mechanics to assist, so we can only accept gently used bikes for this purpose. Bikes that need only tune ups or tube replacements etc. are gladly accepted.
• Metal – automotive batteries, radiators, drum rotors, lawn mowers, BBQ’s
• Tires NOT accepted this year!

NOTE: Empty paint cans and household chemicals are NOT accepted.
Fire Hall at 450 Midpark Way S.E. no longer accepts empty paint cans and household chemicals. Take to Evergreen Fire Station #37 at 2511 Eversyde Avenue SW.

Volunteers are needed to help direct traffic etc. so if you have some time available, please contact Peter at 403-254-6660 re timing. Your help will be appreciated!

NOTE: All of the above events will be held at South Gate Alliance Church 1436 James McKevitt Rd SW.

Note that SECA Board of Directors’ meetings will now be held in the library (Room 101) at South Gate Alliance Church 1436 James McKevitt Rd SW.

Normal meeting date is the third Tuesday in the month at 7:00 PM (except no meeting July or August). SECA members are welcome to attend. Contact Peter Snell at 403-254-6660 for details.

2. The Evergreen Residents Association (ERA) is an organization created by the land developer (Genstar) for the “newly” developed area in Evergreen Estates (i.e. south of the old 146th Avenue) as well as for the rest of Evergreen. On September 1, 2011, Genstar officially handed over control of the ERA to the residents of Evergreen and Evergreen Estates. The ERA now owns and maintains the 17 community entrance features and feature park sites, originally constructed by Genstar in the development of Evergreen and the new portion Evergreen Estates.

All questions or concerns (i.e. garbage pickup, snow removal, burned out lamps, green space damage, etc.) should be directed to admin@evergreenresidents.ca. Further information can be found on the ERA website at www.evergreenresidents.ca.
