Homeowners will discuss community pride

Coconut Grove Village West Homeowners and Tenants Association plans to promote community pride by sponsoring a Spring Clean-Up / Fix-Up project, says J.S. Rashid, president and CEO of the Coconut Grove Collaborative Inc.

The association will discuss details of the pride project at its regularly scheduled monthly meeting at 7 p.m. Jan. 25. Discussion will include granting awards to the best-kept single family residence and the best-kept multi-use dwelling.

The group also will receive reports from an ad hoc committee that is looking into the upkeep and restoration of the historic Coconut Grove Cemetery, Charlotte Jane Memorial Park Cemetery and Charlotte Jane Memorial Park Cemetery Annex at 3650 Charles Ave., as well as the Mariah Brown, 3298 Charles Ave. The building is a replica of the original house built by Brown in 1889. She was one of the community’s first black Bahamians.

The association meeting is from 7-9 p.m. at the Frankie Rolle Center, Room 115, 3750 S. Dixie Hwy. For more information, email association president Pierre Sands at alittletreeservice@yahoo.com
