Essex Gateway MuralJust four weeks from now, artists from Saligman Studios are slated to launch the final phase of the Essex Street Gateway Community Mural--putting it on the wall at 25 Essex Street! Hundreds of community members have already been involved in painting individual panels. These will be applied the wall, then blended into the final image by the artists. An auction gala on May 19 will fund top-quality lighting for this art work, and a Community Block Party in June will include tours of the nearly-completed work--details of both events below. 
Wizard of Oz Gala/Auction, May 19

"Hues of the Heart" Block Party, June 2

 
This celebration of Haverhill's history, arts and varied cultures will take place on Saturday afternoon, June 2, on Wingate Street--which adjoins the mural site. Sponsored jointly by Team Haverhill and other community organizations, this family-friendly event will start at noon and will include "preview" tours of the nearly-completed mural. We are looking for community groups that would like to highlight Haverhill's multiple cultures with a booth or brief performance. For more information, contact Leota Sarrette: Email.     

Team Haverhill Project Highlights

Clean-Up Fix-up Opportunities this year include joining a Team Haverhill crew at the City-Wide Earth Day Clean-Up (Sat 4/21) sponsored by Brightside. Later in the year, we'll organize a one-day river clean-up in partnership with the Clean River Project later in the year, and will work with neighbors to refurbish playgrounds on Union and Portland Streets.  
Haverhill Youth Mentor Network continues to match third graders at the Tilton School with individual adult mentors for weekly, school-based interaction.
Haverhill Farmers Market will open on June 23, with a new childrens' area, weekly music, and more vendors than ever.
Preliminary Planning is under way for a number of "Possible Dreams" ideas related to downtown facilities and activities. Stay tuned for news as plans take shape.

Do You Get the News You Need?

 
News SourceAt Possible Dreams, people often say they need better information about what is going on in Haverhill. An independent local volunteer group is creating an online news source called "Haverhill Matters," to serve local needs and concerns. They seek to discover which news resources people actually use, and how well they feel they are served. You can help by taking the survey and by urging others to take the survey on this site: Haverhill Matters Website
