Ai yi yi! I modified the poster and left off the address! It's at the Glen Eden Pilot Park, 1500 Glen Eden Drive, just outside the belt line. The ribbon cutting will be near the picnic area. Park at the community center and people will direct you on the short walk there.

Recently I was stopped by a CAC Chairperson while grocery shopping. She chastised me for not doing a good enough job communicating with Raleigh's CAC leaders about Raleigh's annual Martin Luther King Holiday events and items of civic significance which the MLK Committee undertakes. Being the humble soul which I am, naturally I pleaded guilty. Hence, this communiqué is being sent to all CAC's with the hope that it will be received in the spirit intended and with the hope that these items will be shared with your membership. _*First:*_ Most of the upcoming January 2013 Martin Luther King Holiday events are posted on our website. Each event will show the date, time and location along with invited and confirmed speakers and/or performers. Please click the blue line here to review. Please bookmark this page for frequent updates: http://www.king-raleigh.org/events/bodyO.cfm _*Second:*_ On Friday past, the City's Parks, Recreation & Greenway Board received a report to expand the existing Martin Luther King Memorial Gardens in Southeast Raleigh. This is a civic project which the MLK Committee along with parks advocates have been pushing for the better part of the last ten years. The plan goes before the City Council for adoption in November. Area CAC's are encouraged to review the plans and comment as needed. Please click here to review the MLK Garden's expansion plans: http://www.raleighnc.gov/arts/content/PRecDesignDevelop/Articles/MLKJrMemor… _*Third:*_ For citizens who may become interested in attending and witnessing the historic 2013 Presidential Inauguration Ceremonies in Washington, D.C. the Raleigh MLK Committee will be having five (5) buses leaving from Raleigh at 6:00 am on January 19, 2013.

The Five Points CAC is hosting an open house for the new Five Points Center for Active Adults at 6 PM. The regular meeting will follow at 7 PM. Finger foods and drinks will be served during the open house. Traffic calming has been a big issue in the Five Points community for some time. During the open house, the City will have representatives staffing a table for the Watch for ME NC pedestrian safety program and Raleigh's Comprehensive Pedestrian Plan. This is an excellent opportunity for you to learn more about what the City is doing to make things better for pedestrians and to lobby for changes in your neighborhood. Watch for Me NC is a comprehensive campaign aimed at reducing the number of pedestrians hit and injured in crashes with vehicles. The program is a collaborative effort with state and local transportation agencies. The campaign consists of safety messages directed toward drivers and pedestrians, educational messages to better inform drivers and pedestrians about pedestrian safety laws, and an enforcement effort by area police to crack down on some of the violations of pedestrian safety laws. Comprehensive Pedestrian Plan includes measurable goals and detailed strategies for improving pedestrian mobility and safety throughout the City. The plan will help guide the City's ongoing investments in sidewalks and crossings in order to improve the quality and safety of existing pedestrian network; and to identify ways to increase the awareness and benefits of walking.
