Outdoor Movie Night in Embudo Hills Park
Saturday, July 13, is our annual movie night in the park! We will be watching The Sandlot. Please bring chairs, blankets, and snacks for our 8:30pm viewing under the stars. FREE for all neighbors.
The Vista del Mundo Neighborhood Association dues pay for this and other activities throughout the year. Not a member? Donations are gladly accepted at the event, as are new member registrations and renewals.
East Gateway Coalition Meeting
The East Gateway Coalition is having a meeting Thursday, July 11 @ 6:30pm at the Manzano Mesa Multicultural Center to discuss the proposed low income housing project at 10600 Central and the Singing Arrow Community Center. Please contact Jim Andrews at jamesw.andrews01@gmail.com for details.
Neighborhood Cleanup
Our next Neighborhood Cleanup is Saturday, July 20 from 8am to 11am at Embudo Hills Park. ABQ Parks & Rec has pledged to be there with community volunteers, tools, fill dirt and more so we need as many neighbors as possible to help us put the finishing touches on the park that we’ve worked so hard on all summer.
Maintenance of Common Areas
Many of the homes in our neighborhood have streets that run behind or alongside them. It is the responsibility of the homeowner to maintain that portion of their lot even if it is outside their wall. This includes picking all weeds, removing trash, and trimming bushes and trees. Please be sure to maintain these common areas if this is your responsibility for the enjoyment of your neighbors and property values. Click here for a list of all homes responsible for maintenance of common areas.
People Sleeping In The Park Overnight
There has been an ever growing caravan of people sleeping in cars parked beside Embudo Hills Park each night and morning (esp on Narcisco). This is illegal and APD strongly suggests nipping it in the bud.
VDMNA has requested a periodic watch placed on the park so we will have an increased police presence for the next two weeks. However APD cannot be there all the time. If you see someone sleeping in their car please call 242-COPS. Give a description of the vehicle and number of people in the car. They will send an officer to request they leave the area.
We Have a New Website!
We’ve been working on our new website for a while now and we think it’s ready for you to check out. We have more content, news and a member’s area only accessible to Vista del Mundo neighbors. You can create an account, participate in our message boards, take our neighborhood survey, see your payment history, access our events calendar and more. Check it out at www.vdmna.com.
