The Newman Park Neighborhood Association has no better friend than Judy Gutierrez. Judy is Mayor Pro-Tem Susie Byrd’s Assistant. She has been a steadfast proponent for our Association and has guided and supported us on many occasions as we have worked through the maze of the City bureaucracy.
Judy worked for 6 years as a report taker for the Police Department, 3 years as a secretary for Economic Development and 3 years now for Susie Byrd. Susie reports that Judy “is the hardest worker at City Hall. She cares a lot about getting things done for the constituents of District 2.”
As a licensed massage therapist Judy also works with her sisters at Body Matters, 2105 E. Yandell. Whatever kind of massage you are looking for you can get there – Swedish, Hot Stone, Lymphatic or Neuromuscular. Body Matters also does manicures, pedicures, reflexology, paraffin treatments, body wraps, cellulite reduction, facials, microdermabrasions, body sugaring and much, much more. Call them at 532-0111 for an appointment to make yourself feel really good.
Tomorrow (April 19th) is Judy’s birthday. All of us in the Newman Park neighborhood wish her Happy Birthday and many, many years. Kudos and olés for Judy!
Be sure to visit our official Newman Park Blog where you can read all about tomorrow’s Party for the Planet at the El Paso Zoo and get some great Green Tips by Laura Zweber. After you read the tips, take a moment to take our poll about speeding traffic in the neighborhood.
Also be sure to sign up for our own Google Group. When you do so, you can broadcast urgent messages to your neighbors and join in discussions of interest to the neighborhood. You can let me know to add your name to the list or you can go to http://groups.google.com/group/newmanpark, sign in and apply for membership.
Just last night, Gabrielle Torres broadcast this important message:
“Hello neighbors,Wondering if anyone is missing a black solar powered light lately? One was stuck in my front lawn this evening. The funny thing is that the other day someone took one of our tops to your solar powered lights making it unusable. They might have tried to take the entire thing but we have it rigged so it does not come off unfortunately we didn't think someone would just take the cover. Email me if you need your light back.”
If you are the one missing the solar powered light and you haven’t signed up for our Google Group, you have a great reason to do so now.
Finally, mark your calendars now for next weekend’s Flora Fest at the UTEP Centennial Museum. Flora Fest is the annual native plant sale. It begins Saturday morning, April 26th, at 9a.m. You can find native plants from 9 to 5 on both Saturday and Sunday. It is best to get there first thing on Saturday as plants are quickly bought-up at this very popular, annual event. Here is a list of plants that will be available. Plants that are native to our desert environment require less water and are better adapted to pests, diseases and weather conditions that plague non-natives.
Get to know the El Paso Chapter of the Native Plant Society, become a member or just attend some of their very educational events.
